This is really stupid, it's already been proven in the other thread that it was sold to consumers, but people are still trying to twist it into shipped numbers. Seriously, just accept what Chart-Track and Sony have confirmed, instead of creating conspiracy theories.
Chart-Track:
"The charts authority also confirmed that PS3 hit a million UK sales faster than its predecessor PS2."
MCV
Sony:
"Apart from confirming that the figure refers to units sold, rather than shipped to retail, the company was reluctant to offer any other details or statements – although a major local press event was mentioned as being scheduled for later in the month."

As for the 754K Screen Digest figure, at the time it was believed Screen Digest was using Chart-Track figures, however, it now seems that they are Screen Digest's own numbers. The 450K "Source #1" listed in the OP also uses Screen Digest as a source. Clearly we can now see Screen Digest figures don't match Chart-Track figures, so we shouldn't use them anymore.
