These are pretty much all sold through. It would have been really easy to move these units on discount even 3-4 years later. Even if they're returned wholesale, customers can get their hands on them eventually through those wholesale retailers. Those ARE copies in consumer hands, though not *technically* sold at retail.

So maybe VGC isn't wrong for their retail number but Nintendo's is more accurate.

By Nintendo's numbers VGC has also undertracked B/W, reported at 15.58 million, not 14.79. That's 800K under.
HG/SS is 12.72 million, not 11.63 million. That's a massive 1.1 million under.

Geez, I knew some of them were under, I didn't think they were all under by that much. They ought to fix that. I mean I feel like if you leave them undertracked like that, it gives a false impression of how new titles are doing compared to that. 400k is one thing, but over a mil undertracked? Come on, ioi, what's going on here?
