Nintendo software sales massively undertracked?

[Yakuzaice]

Yes, those figures are for the amount of shipped software.  The DS is off by the most because a lot of software from before VGC came about probably isn't tracked.  For example, through the end of 2007 there was 330.88 million units shipped, but VGC recorded 213.87 million.

Because thy don't know where the error is I guess. Where do you want them to lump 140m units for the DS? Do you want them to guess?

Software tracking isn't that great here outside of the bigger games.

For example they could take the missing numbers and add them to the games after a certain key, based on how much the games sold according to VGChartz. Seeing how the error already is almost 20%, it most certainly could only improve the accuracy of the sales. 

No it wouldn't.  The software isn't uniformly undertracked.  Some games are tracked fine, some are undertracked, and some aren't tracked at all.
