It's ironic that out of all posts in this thread mine seems to be the strangest or most questionable one.

According to VGC data last week alone Nintendo sold over 400.000 game copies more than their next competitor as publisher (EA). A slow summer week and Nintendo sells more than double the amount of self-publsihed software than the world's 2nd most successful console/handheld publisher for that week. Another figure: In June Nintendo sold - according to VGC data - 2.7 million more games as a publisher than the #2 publisher of that month (again EA). These publisher breakdowns are available every week, but never posted in sales threads and not very popular on VGC it seems.

That's because outside of HD blockbuster launch weeks Nintendo always is on top of that chart. Have patience, wait a year and when it isn't an automatic win for Nintendo anymore, then these sales will also start to matter a lot more. For now, they are better left ignored.

...or explained with ironclad evidence like in the post above yours.
