I can safely say I prefer Famitsu numbers now because they include download cards. Animal Crossing is over a million already with Famitsu tracking. Can wait for me eShop direct leaks so we get the big picture.

Can't wait to see what Pokemon does next week. I'm hoping that game will be a million seller.

Wait, Famitsu tracks download cards but Media Create does not? So we can calculate an estimate of the number of download cards sold, right? And from there, we can calculate the eShop downloads in the first week with the "200k" number.

We can't do that, look NSMB 2:

Media Create:

03./05. [3DS] New Super Mario Bros. 2 # (Nintendo) {2012.07.28} (¥4.800) - 41.658 / 1.385.212 (+79%)

Famitsu:

03./05. [3DS] New Super Mario Bros. 2 # (Nintendo) {2012.07.28} (¥4.800) - 37.802 / 1.384.844 (+101%)

Famitsu also includes download cards here, but Media Create is higher. So... here we have a problem. Even if one tracker includes DLC, there are discrepancies between them, so is impossible to get the right answer.

According to this, NSMB 2 has sold -1k by download cards... yeah...
