I thought ASUS was being clear in [1]. They've sold 1.2 million so far and plan to ship at least another 600k by the end of the year. At this point, they can't count those 600k as sold since that would be predicting the future. As for [2], I'd expect Andy Rubin's number is based on the number of tablets accessing Google services [4] (which isn't surprising since that is the number Google can most easily observe). Given that, it seems clear to me those 6 million count as sold.
