They might account for the difference, but it still stands that digital numbers are harder to track and less accurate than software shipped copies by companies. 

On a side note, digital sales in US are close to retail sales according to E3 data. VGC clearly is becoming a less accurate picture of the entire video game sales data.

Why do you say that?  Wouldn't it be just as easy for the company themselves?  They should have all that information logged.  Now for a site like vghartz yeah I'd agree 

Because as this thread points out there are many sources for digital content and companies do not have to report numbers to anyone. Beyond that because I have read it many times. This number in the article is a calculated assumption not a fact just like vgc's numbers.
