Yeah me too. All the countries below import from US and UK so the numbers here must be a little inflated. Maybe 10k a week?

Actually XB1 is imported in more countries such as Croatia if we are to believe the users on this site.

No, you have to differentiate between large resellers like the Metro Group, and basically internet traders. The Metro Group operates all over mainland Europe, but gets all stock from Microsoft. They buy wholesale from MS Europe and redistribute regular stock. On the other end of the scale, there are the importers, like "small dude shops" that shift stock from maybe the UK into their odd country. With the cheap Titanfall bundles in the US in April, a lot of small importers jumped to buying cheap US consoles and resell them way below regular European prices. At this time, many of the "dudes" are just waiting for MS to make the move, and do not plan to offer the Kinect-less bundle (according to one internet reseller, the warehouses in Germany are choked full with unsold Kinect bundles, so they gamble that the warehouses will be emptied basically by MS selling Kinect bundles for the same price as the official Kinect-less bundles after June 9th.

You sound convincing and believable but it still conflicts a little with what I know.
"Elgiganten", "PC World", "Currys", etc. aren't small retailers and every XB1 sold here includes a UK power supply.

This must have an effect on the UK numbers, so maybe the numbers in the UK are not as close as we are lead to believe?
