The 200k digital is way too high for a Nintendo console, but it turns out they were selling download codes in-store.

The 200k digital is included in the 600k total right? So 400k physical?

What does the first sentence mean? If I buy a download code in a store and download it, or if I pay for it with my credit card and download it, isn't that the same thing except for the method of payment.

It means that Nintendo has the weakest online infrastructure, so 200k digital sales for any game is impossible.But then I saw that they were selling these cards in store so it makes sense.

Yes, it is the same thing but in Japan, if there weren't any of these cards available you can bet the digital sales wouldn't be anywhere near 200k.
