I don't believe 3 million Kindles is out of the question. I believe the U.S. population is over 300 million, so that's one person out of a hundred (about the same chance as being a millionaire in the U.S.).
Except that what a publisher calls a "sale" isn't what the rest of us call a sale. The rest of us think that means a product actually gets into the end user's hands in exchange for money. To a publisher, it might just mean it's stacked in a bunch of stores and hasn't been remaindered yet.
