The 1.56195 Billion software that Nintendo reports only counts software with a physical version, IIRC. (Open to correction here)

So if one were to include the multitude of digital-only games, it could potentially be much higher.

Not sure where you got that info but thats seems not the case.

The total software that ninty mentioned(1.5bill+)

Is with digital only games included.

  • Grand Totals: The overall lifetime software unit numbers provided in Nintendo Financial Results combine physical cartridge sales and digital downloads across first-party and third-party publishers.
  • Digital & Indie Inclusion: Download-only releases (such as indie titles that never received a physical print) are fully factored into the platform's total consolidated software sales units.

Again, that 1.5bill is insane but you cant compare it to a console that was physical only/did not recieve 1dollar/10 dollars heck not even 20 dollar games.

Where did you get this info? Can you provide your source?
