You should recalculate.

They never mention how they approximated the 1 sq-km per square. Seems like an assumption to me. 

I think it is better to go off what Nintendo has said (twelve times TP) , especially since it has matched all analyses of the map that use different methodology (besides this one.) If they described how they estimated I could comment on whether it was a good estimation or not. Also, it doesn't seem like you could fit 120 of the demo areas into the map, which would be the implication with their area estimates. 

You yourself made assumptions in your calculations, Nintendo also originally said XCX was 5 times larger than the original and it turned out to be far bigger, they tend to give conservative estimates.
