Just need a quick explanation.

Why do shipped numbers mean anything? Shouldn't the only thing that matters is how many people actually buy your console? I mean just because you ship your console doesn't mean it actual sold it would just be sitting on a shelf. Or when companies say shipped to they also mean sold?

Shipped is sold to a company. The retailer purchases that product to put it on store shelves. Sony/Microsoft don't give away their products to retailers for free...
