Like others said, that's not U.S. sales. That's shipments for the whole region. The actual final NPD sales figures for those systems are:
NDS: 53.5M
PS2: 46.7M
NSW: ~43M
The 360's numbers were apparently revised by the NPD Group at some point, as existing monthly numbers add up to 43,258k, more than the roughly 43M the Switch is sitting at. The estimates for the Switch are apparently pretty spot-on, so the actual figure for the 360 has to be under 43M. The July report indicated that as of that month the Switch was under a million behind the 360, which the estimates for the Switch at the time had it pegged at a bit over 41.8M, meaning the 360 had to have sold only 42.8M at most, which in turn means the old monthly numbers add up to a figure that overtracked the 360's lifetime numbers by no less than ~460k. The Switch was also stated to be less than 5M behind the PS2, which is consistent with the 46.7M figure.
