vgchartz has Wii U software at 19.94m while Nintendo reports 29.37m. Some of it is the difference between shipped and sold to end users, but I assume most of it comes from digital sales. That's a lot of digital sales!


Considering the userbase that is a lot of software. However a lot of these digital sales will very likely include VC and mini games with very low pricing. I am more interested in the full price titles.

Anyhow this shows how well Nintendo Wii U owners attach themselves to Nintendo software and why Nintendo must work overtime in producing more software if the wii u is to be turned around. That is of course considering that they are more than just a  few million Nintendo fans left in the wild.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but prior to the 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo never shared numbers for VC games on DS or Wii. Don't see why Nintendo is including them now. Unless during the Wii and DS the VC games were included in the software ship numbers, and now they are on the digital numbers, or they are still in the normal ship software numbers, but at this point they are just confusing investors.
