I got the game digitally. And I'm sure quite a lot of people did so too. So I don't think VGC numbers are reliable. In fact, this is going to be a problem for most titles going forward. Where digital sales tracking won't be possible without official numbers from the manufacturers.
Besides, you have to consider the install base. So far, the tie ratio seems to be quite good. Let's hope now that it will manage to sell consoles. All of this being said, Mario games aren't front loaded. They have the greatest of legs.
