Not really. I mean, if you don't know what #2 on the e-shop really means in terms of digital sales, how can you begin to gauge what effects it has on retail?

u have a good arguement but it should be good. It surpassed Earthbound (it is ranked 8th or 9th now) which had goood sales but never given out exact numbers and LoZ surpassed every single 30 cent promotion nes/snes title with the exception of Super Metroid which is number 1. Definetly good sales but o way to see wat they are. It can range from 30k-80k but we dont kno

Digital is a pain to deal with. I imagine professionals have access to this kind of data, but for the rest of us we make due with assumptions and guesswork. I'm hopeful that it'll eventually work its way down, once digital sees wider acceptance.

Regarding WWHD, I seriously think the next two weeks will be key. I think next week will be the test for the game itself, but where the hardware settles just before the holidays will be an important factor for the coming months.
