I know how I can use these. I can add an extra column for my list, using these numbers. One will have these, official Nintendo numbers, and the other will use the VGChartz numbers. The reason I still want the VGChartz numbers there is beacuse those are sold through to consumer, and are updated more frequently, which matters for the games that are still selling, like Mario and Pokemon

The issue being that VGChartz base their data off these shipment numbers and use that to estimate the sell in amount. VGChartz don't actually track point of sale data, they just estimate the numbers based off public data and sampling. 

I've already spotted a few games, such as Animal Crossing Wild World for DS where the VGChartz number is higher than what Nintendo actually sold in....

 

Animal Crossing Wild World sold in 11.74m as of September 30th 2015 according to Nintendo.

According to VGChartz the game sold more than that 4 years ago.

Nintendo figures are official, VGChartz seem to have guessed too high. 

I really wish we could get consistently updated, acturate figures... Sigh...
