Can you guys help me understand something... (hi, I'm new, by the way). VGChartz has Super Mario 3D World at roughly 1.65m sold, but Nintendo recently announced it had SHIPPED more than a million, indicating that 1.65m is probably overtracked by quite a bit. However, Nintendo's latest figures now say 1.94m (sold? shipped?), so it seems that VGChartz could have UNDERtracked the game. Which is good news for a Nintendo fan like me. So do Nintendo's numbers include digital sales? Is that where the extra few hundred-thousand has come from? Whatever the true picture is, it seems SM3DW has actually performed better than I expected so far.

Nintendo numbers are shipped + digital. So VGChartz is probably spot on.
