IDC Tablets Shipment 2012 Quarter 3 (July, August, September)

Apple was responsible for over half of the 27.8 million shipments worldwide, but lost a significant amount of market share, dropping to 50.4 percent from 65.5 percent in the second quarter. IDC attributes this to consumers holding off for the iPad mini, but expects some of these procrastinators will choose Android tablets due to the relatively high entry price of $329 for the mini. Samsung was second on the leaderboard, shipping over five million tablets and increasing its market share to 18.4 percent, mainly driven by Galaxy Tab and Note 10.1 sales. Amazon and ASUS also had a solid quarter thanks to the Kindle Fires and Nexus 7, respectively, shipping around 2.5 million tablets a piece.

Neither your Kindle Fire nor your Nexus 7 numbers are correct according to IDC's data. IDC's tablet tracker includes ereaders, so Amazon's numbers include more than the Kindle Fire. And Asus's numbers include all of their tablets. As you posted in the OP, only 1.5-2 million Nexus 7's were shipped in Q3 according to Asus.
