Then for some reason only NINTENDO uses shipped as their sales numbers to people in these forums who show no proof, they just say it, but XBONE/PS4 are not shipped these are sales numbers.

When Microsoft and Sony put figures in their financial reports they are shipped as well. All financial reports for all companies are shipped and always have been, nobody is saying it's just Nintendo, it is everybody.

Yes, Nintendo are doing just fine. Given what's going on at the moment it looks like they are just going to be doing better and better financially for the rest of this year and into next year.

As for Wii U dominating this holiday... do you really think it's going to be able to sell like 4 million plus in November and December, because that's what it's going to need to do to beat the PS4. Oh, but you said dominate. Dominate wouldn't be beating the PS4 a little bit would it? No, dominate would mean beating the PS4 by alot, so how much exactly are you expecting the Wii U to sell?

Yes i believe it sell a little less than 4 million 

When a company says 'sold', it means 'sold to retailers', i.e., what we call shipped. We should always assume it is shipped, unless the company specifically says 'sold to the consumer'. 

Yes, I agree the Wii U will get a boost this holiday because parents will be buying for their kids, but there will be parents buying PS4 for their kids, too. Given the PS4's current momentum, not to mention the bundles and deals on offer, it's unlikely that the Wii U will even match PS4 sales over the holiday worldwide.

I am also a parent with 2 kids, and the majority of my friends are also parents. Here, my kids' friends are all talking about PS3 and PS4, not Wii U.
