Digital Makes Up 14% of Key Nintendo Franchise Sales

The figures are in

Nintendo does not release sale statistics for its digital content, leaving us with no real idea of how the company's download sales are doing. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime did give away one intriguing nugget of information in a recent interview with Time, however:

The packaged content gets all the buzz and the noise, but in the last 12 months when you look at all of our key franchises — so Mario, Zelda and Pokémon — 14% of all of those transactions are happening on the digital side of the business.

Fils-Aime doesn't clarify how that percentage is calculated — whether by value or volume, though we'll wager it's volume — but here's the release lists for Mario, Zelda and Pokémon over the last 12 months:

Retail Releases

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Super Mario 3D Land
Mario Sports Mix
Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Pokémon Rumble Blast
Pokémon Black and White

Digital Releases

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Mario's Picross
Super Mario Land
Mario Party 2
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
