I checked the source and yes, it says exactly that. However, it's half a year old, so Nintendo might have had other plans for the 3DS launch back then, bundling every unit with a physical copy like the Wii with Wii Sports.

Then again, they haven't changed their forecast when they released their last financial report in January, so I am really not sure what to think of the 15 million number. I guess we'll have to wait a few weeks until we get official word from them along with the admission that they fell short of both the hardware and software projections.

Good time to buy some Nintendo stock, methinks...

Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

I`m not the best person to say if said ratio is good or not but 15 million games shipped to 2 million and something sold through does seem a bit high, but seeing as Capcom already shipped 1M SSF4 3D copies to stores, it seems that Nintendo, 3rd parties and retailers seem to be expecting really good sales after 3DS launch.
