For those wondering, Moffit said "in the hands" of players, so it's likely sold through, even though he didn't actually say it. A "shipped" number wouldn't imply the games being in the hands of players. And that report was made on the 7th, VGC goes up to the 4th, so it's missing 3 days from Nintendo's reports. It probably sold 600 - 700K in the US up to the 7th, including digital. Though one shouldn't count too much on digital sales, they likely won't play a significant factor, as they usually don't.

Also note that the game also launched in Australia, and the rest of North and South America, even if they don't play a huge role in total sales, they shouldn't be ignored. Don't be surprised if they make up a larger portion of the 1.3 million than you think.
