Looks like VGChartz overtracked more than undertracked.

DS Games 15
undertracked: 10, overtracked: 5

Wii Games 11
undertracked: 7, overtracked:4

 

 

Not quite. You can't compare shipment numbers to sell-through this directly. Depending on several factors, VGC numbers should be a good clip behind Nintendo's shipment numbers.

Overtracked are:

New Super Mario Bros.
Mario Kart DS
Nintendogs (unless it reached total sell-out, which it certainly didn't)
More Brain Training
Pokemon D/P
Personal Trainer: Cooking
Mario Kart Wii
Wii Fit
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Mario Galaxy

Right on:

Brain Training
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2
Pokemon Platinum
Pokemon Ranger
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Wii Sports
Wii Play
Wii Music
Mario Party 8

Undertracked:

Kirby Super Star Ultra
Mario Party DS
Rhythm Heaven
Super Mario 64 DS
Animal Crossing: City Folk
Link's Crossbow Training
Super Mario Sluggers

Furthermore, consider that some of the undertracked games like Kirby and AC, launched right into the holiday season, and so could easily have overshipped. Mario 64, LCT and AC are the only ones that could be undertracked by roughly 500K. Meanwhile NSMB, Pokemon D/P and Cooking were probably all overtracked by roughly 1m units, which is a significant amount versus the 9-month sales of those games.
