Yep. In the end, there are only 1000 "customers" in US, mainly MS employees that got them gifted. They are now paid to desperately create some hype on internet forums for a better image but we see how this is going considering stores ship consoles back to MS.

A lot more than 1k. However that's what happens. Stores have limited shelf/storage space. If something else is selling they store and sell that(ps4). What ever is not selling gets sent back and reordered when space clears up/there is demand. That's why there is such a disparity between total shipped and total sold for the Xb1 and how they manage to keep shipping consoles given the limited shelf space.

 

How big is the disparity? What are the actual numbers?

More than half shipped than sold in the same time frame. They sold around 480k while shipping 1.4m Considering ps4's increased sales at the time it's safe to say they likely returned 1-2/3rds of that 500k+ back 

Worldwide sales on VGChartz  April - June

Xbox 360 -145,277 

Xbox One - 896,560 

Total - 1,041,837

Looking like there slightly under tracked and more likely 1.1M.
