this was answered like 5 times in the first 2 pages - this number does not include any digital sales while Blizzard's number does.

The problem people are having is probably because Blizzard announced sales of 3.3 million  in just one day  where as VGC have it as 2.25 million for the entire week (five days from the 7th to the 11th). Now I am aware that VGC don't count digital downloads and Blizzard do, but can there really have been so many digital copies sold compared to hard copies (atleast 1.1 million digital downloads)?

Yes and heres a good reason why. They had it up for download before the release day so people could play it exactly at midnight on day of release. The first thing you would see for a little bit was the advertisement when you went to log in. Its what my brother and his girlfriend did.
