Nintendo now combining retail and digital Wii U US sales

July 16, 2013 by Ryan Parreno

Combining their own digital sales figures with NPD Group estimates.

Gamasutra has revealed that Nintendo of America has started using both physical and digital sales to determine top selling games on their video game consoles. For the physical sales data, Nintendo will still be using information provided by the NPD Group. For digital sales, Nintendo is adding their own information. This data is now reflective of listed Top Sellers on Nintendo's own games page today. 

With this in mind, here's a sample of the best selling games on their consoles below

LEGO City Undercover

NPD earlier remarked that they would start tracking digital sales with retail, in partnership with the EEDAR. Nintendo's initiative is 
preempting these plans, perhaps so that they can be more transparent about their own game sales to the public. NPD Group has received criticism for not providing an accurate picture of total game sales, while Nintendo has been abuzz about the high numbers they have been seeing for digital sales of their games, especially since they intensified online efforts on the 3DS and Wii U.
