Why not use official Nintendo sales figures which are readily available......?

Using VGChartz numbers when we have official data makes no sense.

I thought about that, there's a few reasons I'm not using those numbers. The major reason is that they only give sales for the top 10 selling Wii games and top 10 selling DS games. If they reported on all of them, I'd use them, but they don't. Second is that I don't know if those numbers are sell through to consumer or sell through to retailers. The fact that they only update those numbers sporadically also doesn't help.

This is as of March 2015. 

The numbers reflect units sold to retailers (sell in). In this case, due to the age of Wii and DS, you can consider them final sell through numbers as well. Of course some of the more higher selling titles may sell a few hundred thousand more in 2015/16.

These numbers also include digital download.
