Do these 942 Million units contain DSi digital downloads and retail games still on the shelves? |
The latter yes, because those Nintendo numbers are always shipped numbers, but it's actually a very good question whether or not DSi-ware is included in Nintendo's figure. One would be inclined to think "yes", because there's no way there are 150m games still on shelves and DSi-ware are games after all. However, if DSi-ware is included, their Wii figure would also include Wii-ware sales, and maybe even Virtual Console sales, which in turn means something is substantially wrong with VGC's figure for Wii software in a negative sense (which is probably the case anyway)...

As a side-note, it wouldn't be the first time one of these totals are wrong here on VGC, when the PS1 here sold 104.25m while Sony only shipped 102.49m...
And yes, PS2 game sales are insane, I always find it strange that the system's best-selling games are at relatively low sales, there were just many that did 'very good' instead of a few that did 'amazing' I guess.
