"These figures are for the U.S., and they include both physical and digital sales on Nintendo’s eShop online store."

Problem solved.


Yes, we know is both but digital sales are nowhere near close  to 320k in the US.


Your own digital figures in the OP are 70k + 80k = 150k.

3.17m - 150k = 3.02m (physical sales according to your link).

3.02m - 2.85m = 170k (difference between NPD & VGC numbers)

2.85 ÷ 10 = 285k.

VGC aims numbers to be within 10% accuracy I believe, and these numbers are within 10% accuracy.

I understand where you're coming from.  I used to campaign for the numbers to be changed all the time but as long as they're within the 10% band, I don't think ioi is fussed about changing them.

If you want something more meaty to try and get fixed, why not make some threads about the 2012 NPD numbers?  Kingdom Hearts 3D is 100-200k overtracked and Angry Birds is 200-300k undertracked.  They're well outside the margins of error but 6 months of bringing it up at every opportunity I had got nothing changed :P

Ok i got ya, in this case it is accurate. I just pointing out that its not overtracked as many expected even though it was in both Oct+Nov lol!

2.85mil is a huge difference in the 3.17mil. But even if you dont count digital which is fair we should have it at at least 3mil!!!

No big deal compare to others however! Pokemon might just be close to 10mil  or even surpassed it by now? Is it undertracked in Europe? (imasking cuz im not sure)
