Why? Because that chart is NPD numbers which is not counting wii sports or those top selling wii titles released after that. That guy from EA is most likely using current WW-numbers which include wii sports.

 

Did you read this post?

 

 

Yeah, I see someone who owns a wii making some kind of weird assumptions which aren't based on any real figures. Oh, except shipped figures from nintendo! VGC tracks sales from retailer to customer, please remember that. ;)

 

But... but... VGC undertracking.. Pfft. :P

Nintendo used to require retailers to report sellthrough back to them as a conditional for stocking their products. That they would be in the know is not exactly far-fetched, though it is not clear if that particular policy is still in place.

And yes, VGChartz undertracks software constantly. It can't be helped. Some of the data just isn't there for ioi to get his hands on.
