Hmm it's a little overtracked here then, probably in Europe.

It's probably not just Europe. As of June 29th, VGC has the 3DS at 15.789m in Japan. That is a gap of 361k with Nintendo's shipped numbers. Worldwide the gap is 410k. Though I guess it could be possible that European VGC numbers are significantly higher than shipped numbers which would allow NA numbers to be fine.
The platform totals numbers are more recent than the end of June, but that has Europe plus Rest of World at 15.5m compared to Nintendo shipping 13.16m to territories outside of Japan and the Americas. Another wrinkle is that VGC would be counting Latin America in there while Nintendo isn't (I think). However I doubt LA plus the extra 3 weeks of sales make up for the 2.34m diference.
Ok, scratch all that, the Platform Totals number doesn't even match the weekly numbers. Overall I'd imagine the 3DS is at least 500k overtracked.
