A few things to point out is that we seem to only have VGC estimates for global sales, Nintendo handhelds always get Pokemon so there is no doubt that a significant amount of people already had one knowing one would come out, Pokemon software was pretty low in stock (comparatively speaking), and also your use of a percentage is misleading as most big sellers will have a similar percentage of buyers who already have the system.
Oh, and since I see Max King of the Wild's post, I think I should say that being so dismissive because of VGC's numbers is a bad call. If NPD shows you were wrong, people will jump on you for it.
