I wonder if people would change their minds if I included digital sales?

Unfortunately we will probably never know digital sales so making predictions with them it kinda cheating a little.

Also, some predictions here are needlessly low, whilst others are needlessly high. Just seems to be a warground for bets here.

Nintendo actually tells us their digital sales rather often and MK8 releases on the last week of May, so if they tell us the total sales with digital during NPD, we know that it only includes the first week. Japan shouldn't be a problem as well.
Besides I think most of us did already include digital sales. I for one did since in normal cases they only add about 10% and are thus rather insignificant.
I hear a lot that this and that game is surely going to do better digital, but it only really happened when Nintendo shipped too few retail copies (especially in Japan).
