Uhh, why are you guys seeking for awkward excuses of why the numbers here are far off? For example the DS is now at 950k in Scandinavia (at the end of 08) and VGchartz has it at 2,1 million. It's crystal clear that both systems are overtracked, no need for weird explanations.

If anybody is interested, here are the latest Scandinavian figures:

2008:
Wii - 300,000
DS - 349,000

LTD:
Wii - 530,000
DS - 950,000

Dont worry about it, you'll eventually get used to this kind of thing

While I can see Scandanavia is very overtracked... I still don't think the 14.1 million gure from Nintendo includes that region.

The last time we got info like this (with a weekly graph as well) it co-incided perfectly with what I mentioned above, which is VGCs version of Europe minus Scandanavia and some of "other Europe".... otherwise known as the area Nintendo of Europe directly ships to.

I found an article about the Bergsala numbers.

Google translate:

Bergsala hit records

The number of installed Wii and DS consoles increased sharply in Norway and the rest of Scandinavia in 2008.

Bergsala beat all previous sales records in Scandinavia in 2008, with over 300,000 sold Wii consoles and 349,000 Nintendo DS.

According to recent figures from Bergsala company sold over 300,000 Wii consoles in the Scandinavian market in 2008. Overall, the number of installed Wii in our corner of the world thus increased to over 530,000 in the past two years.

Bergsala sign at the same time that the Nintendo DS continued the trend as the fastest-selling games of all platforms ifjor. 349,000 consoles were sold during 2008. Together Bergsala has sold 950,000 DS units in Scandinavia.

- There has been an incredible year. As soon as we have received the goods in stock, they have gone straight into the trade. We thought that 2008 would be good, but that we should put as many new records and breaking so many old trends in the gaming world is unique, "says marketing Örjan Johansson in Bergsala.

- The only negative is that the production of Nintendo have not been able to meet the enormous demand in full, continues Johansson. He pulls out, among other things, Wii Fit as a big game Company of successes in 2008.

Norwegian

Here we have Norwegian Wii and PS3 sales for 2008. Adding these to NSM's total through 2007 we get this:
