This might be a dumb question but, how do you track digital in the first place? The only thing you can really do is estimate based on past ratios for genres and other games in series right?

Work together with console manufacturers and third party publishers in hopes that they share digital sales data.

Another option is to regularly check the bestseller lists of digital stores and make estimates based on the rankings. The problem here is the lack of accuracy when there are no reference points.

Working together with console manufacturers might work, but if VGChartz would ask third party publishers, we would need almost every single publisher to agree in order to make a somewhat correct list.
