It quite clearly says its including digital. Read it again.

The press release says the 1.3 mil total includes digital. If the 925k is from NPD, then it would've sold 0% digitally, seeing as the Wii U's 460k adds to the 1.3 mil.

Unless I'm misunderstanding and it sold 1.3 mil retail only.

The asterisk says "*Data regarding physical sales of games are from the NPD Group. Data regarding digital downloads of games and combined physical/digital life-to-date numbers are from Nintendo’s internal sales figures. All numbers, unless otherwise stated, are specific to the United States only."

The problem is the paragraph contianing the 925,000 figure doens't say retail or retail + digital nor does it say the figure is internal or NPD.

The ambiguity means we cannot conclude one way or the other.  Don't get me wrong.  It very well could be digital included but the wording leaves open both interpretations.  And I don't like vague when talking facts.

Zelda Switch had a 99% attach rate for packaged units. attach rate was 102% when including digital. 

The 925k number includes digital.

It's not ambiguity, you just haven't read all the data.
