To be fair though half those DS games miss a significant amount if not all European sales. Not that it changes much, but at least reality is better than what VGC proposes. VGC also has total software sales like 150m under Nintendo's official number, though I don't know if Nintendo includes DSiware.
Anyway yeah it's due to piracy mostly. DS was the easiest to pirate system since the Dreamcast. Even I had pirated games, though I eventually bought the ones I really played often because my appreciation for gaming got rekindled.
