There are not ~0.01 units on shelves. So retail shipped is about 3.0m, with 2.74m sold, and 0.5m are digital.

500k digital seems like a lot for a system with only 32 gigs of storage.

SSB3DS sold 135k digital copies in just the US (which was for less than a weeks sales, i think?). With that in mind, i think 500k WW digital sales for MK8 seems reasonable.

If MK8 is under tracked, i don't expected it to be by a significant margin (maybe 100k, 200k absolute tops).

The WiiU doesn't have much storage, but MK8's download is also pretty small.

I'm willing to bet Hyrule Warriors sales are undertracked too.

That's not bad, maybe we're onto something here.

Looks about right. Unless we're suggesting that digital sales on the eShop are quite low and people have a problem finding the game in shops.

Expandable storage is a very easy fix. I have 32 GB + 2 TB storage. 



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Yeah. Just connect an external HDD to the USB ports and boom, done. I have all the space I need on my Wii U.

Nintendo digital sales could be on the rise. Hopefully, they can get their account system in order before next gen hits... hopefully.

I believe it will be fixed completely when next-gen hits but we're a good amoutn of years off. The only person who believes nintendo will launch early is soundwave and.... I'll leav emy opinion of him elsewhere.

under tracked by a max of 200k if any. Digital sales would be big for a title MK8 and there would be a decent number on shelves with the holiday season about to start. Good sales all the same.
