No, it does not. You see, you're new so....
VGChartz estimates sold through to consumers like you and me. 99.5% of all news you read, unless they are quoting VGChartz, NPD, or some other tracking firm, are reporting on "sales" to retailers as that is the only numbers MS, Sony, and Nintendo actually have.
So, according to that article MS probably told them that they stand at about 18m sold WW, sold that is to MS's customer, the retail store.
