Aye, I know, just the difference is becoming quite large. At the same point in time Wii U software on vgchartz was around 10 million, it was at roughly 20 million according to NPD. While I realise this is shipping numbers, digital sales are becoming an increasingly significant factor.

Indeed, tell me if my calculations make sense to you.

 

Assuming the 16million retail+digital sales are from Sept. 30th 2012 to Sept. 30 2013

I have on vgchartz:

Sept 29 2012, SW Sales total: 15.76m
Sept 28 2013, SW Sales total: 29.12m

For a difference of 13.36m retail, meaning that if vgchartz numbers are correct, Nintendo made 2.7m in digital sales, a volume of 16.8% over total sales. Not bad right?

That would sound about right. I wonder what initial digital sales were like, what sort of increase they are seeing.
