| Lawlight said: I see what you mean. Doesn’t matter anyway as the link says packaged and downloadable versions. So, yes, the numbers include everything. |
No, it says card or disk software: This means games sold at retail. Then, in parentheses, it further clarifies that downloadable versions of retail software are also counted. This is obvious to anyone not blatantly arguing in bad faith, since Nintendo's own fiscal reports separately mention download-only software, as opposed download versions of retail (packaged) software.

Each platform includes hardware, software (including downloadable versions of packaged software, download-only software and add-on content) and accessories.
Compare that to the previously quoted footnote from the unit sales chart:
Software sales units for each platform are those of card or disk software (packaged and downloadable versions).
Do you see how it has no mention of "download-only software" or "add-on content"? How it only mentions "card or disk software" before the parenthetical?
