No, they are not. Take Halo for example. When it was announced that the series sold 50 million, we had sales for the series (not including DLC, etc.) just under 50 million. There was a very small discrepancy. And that's for the entire series. Individual discrepancies would have been even lower.
You are correct though in that newer games tend to have large discrepancies. But not for two-year old games.
