vgchartz has Wii U software at 19.94m while Nintendo reports 29.37m. Some of it is the difference between shipped and sold to end users, but I assume most of it comes from digital sales. That's a lot of digital sales!

Wii U bundles come with a digital download code. And the rest of that figure is sitting in warehouses and store shelves.

Only Wind Waker HD has a download code as far as I know. The other popular bundle (the one with NSMB U) has a physical copy.

I see that we still have more NDS sold to consumers than NDS manufactured by Nintendo lol

Well, at least PS4 and Xbox one hasn't reach the total Wii U sales, they started strong but now sales are going down.

It's like the Vita, I guess. We don't have a lot of consoles sold but the people that own them buy a fair amount of games. In one year, I think my Wii U library is over half as big as my PS3 library in seven years. My Vita library is close, too.
