Sorry if it was already mentioned but the 2mil number seems perfectly reasonable. 909k was over 18 days. The XBone has been on sale for 9 more days since then. Sales we know for sure.

909k in USA in 9 days
150k in UK in 48 hours
65k in Australia in three days
Spain 23k  around 14 days.
So we have 1.147million

Then we have unaccounted for
4 days of Spain sales
9 days of USA sales
16 days of UK sales
15 days of Australia sales
18 days of Canada sales
18 days of Germany sales
18 days of France sales
18 days of Ireland sales
18 days of Mexico sales
18 days of New Zeland sales
18 days of Brazil sales
18 days of Austria sales

From nintendo's recent Europe hardware charts, out of all the xbone's Europe launch territories, Spain has the biggest gap between xbox 360 and PS3 so it is likely the smallest territory by far for the xbone. 850k seems pretty easy to come from sales of all those territories for all those days. Remember sony's console is extremely supply constraint. Sales in certain countries will be close to ps4 simply due to that. We already saw that in Australia where the xbone actually has the biggest launch of all time, despite the ps4 getting more preorders.

Besides if Microsoft was just making numbers up, surely they would have just made up a number slightly bigger than sony instead of slightly smaller. Not to mention that if we assume microsoft is making numbers up just because we don't like them we have to assume everyone is able to do so and then we are just picking and chosing which numbers we think are real just because we want them to be.
