I suggest you review basic mathematics, since my description does work out to 6 million digital, as supernihilist notes. That being said, I was working purely off intuition. Didn't think to look at actual numbers from previous quarters. Examination of the actual numbers gives us a better estimate of percentages, and I was overly optimistic. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/131031e.pdf By the end of September, New Leaf had sold 6.35 million copies total. It was under 5 million retail according to VGChartz. This represents roughly 21% digital. Noting that its retail Christmas sales were a little slower than you'd expect, I think you'll find that the proportion of digital downloads will be somewhat higher since then. I'd guess somewhere around 25%. So I'd actually estimate New Leaf, assuming VGChartz hasn't mistracked (in either direction), to be somewhere around 8 million with digital included. My main point, that digital sales mean that we don't know which one is actually ahead, remains valid. |
I wasn't adding up your useless info, i was only using the 3 million figure to put it's numbers ahead of pokemon.
And stop pulling numbers out of your ass
