Well we know Nintendo sold 1.5 million VC games in the Wii's first quarter with 3.2 million units sold. We now know that 3.3 million VC were sold in 2 quarters with 5.84 million Wii's sold. At that rate we could expect that Nintendo will sell between 15-20 million this year with more in each succeeding year. That's a cool $100-150 million each year in almost pure profit which is nothing to sneeze at.
I agree with whoever complains that the prices are high. Not too high seeing as I've downloaded 11 games myself, but higher than what I would like ($7/5/3 for N64,SNES,NES). I would expect as the initial cost of setting up the service are paid off and more VC games are sold to the ever growing number of Wii owners that the price will drop though.
