Where on earth are you getting that information from? 

These are all digital sales except download cards.  Download cards get counted as physical sales on Famitsu, 

So yes, these are actually digital sales.  

Kres, this has always been the case.

Media Create tracks sales while Famitsu tracks sales and download cards.

Nobody tracks actual digital downloads from the digital storefronts (eShop, PSN, etc...) because there does not exist a method to accurately do so.  That's why these 'digital' sales seem so much smaller than we expect they should be...because it's just the download cards.
