They realeased numbers because Nintendo did and it is a big number so it is good press. As usual we don't know what exactly these numbers mean (shipped, bought, etc.) Also it is probably like the Nintendo result (if we saw data for an entire month things would even out ). Nintendo said 300 and 350, VGC said 250 and 420.
The one thing we can say is that ioi is once again in the ballpark of other data and his is the first I see.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
