What about digital sales? I imagine a lot of the people who bought the wii u have bought some games on the eshop.

Hard to say how big the digital numbers are, the number 1 game digitally is NSMBU and I can see that game being a max of 100k, the rest of the games are probably way lower than that. 

Since when?

Last time I looked Trine 2: EC was #1 and NSMBU was #3.

You're right I was way off. #1 Trine 2, #2 Little Inferno and #3 NSMBU. Highly doubt the indie games have reach more than 100k (although the Trine dev was very happy with the game sales). But it's impossible to tell at the moment. 

So, what would you estimate the total amount of sales are digitally for all combined?  Enough to drop those percentages a little or keep them about the same..

Combined? Well I'm going over a weird analysis here...When Trine 2 launch the first one sold 1.1m units (I'm using this because I couldn't find any official numbers of Trine 2, and since the game is digital VGC only have 3k on the totals) let's say the second one is half of that so 500k, considering the Trine devs are very happy with the sales I would guess the game is aprox 5% of what the totals are (which I'm assuming are 500k), that puts the highest selling game at 25k. Let's say each one decreases 1-2k due to popularity. That puts the top 20 at a total of 310k (aprox).

This is all guesses btw, don't take this too seriously ;)

Edit: considering the software totals for the Wii U on VGC is 4,798,390 I don't think my guess is all that bad, 6% coming from digital sales is very possible imo.

Actually you are about spot on.  The community is about 10k in NA and EU, maybe 11k, some reason euro love the game. JP is around 4 or 5k, which puts the game at about 25k.

Lol and I did that without owning a Wii U xD

actually i was kinda wrong, it hasn't released in JP, but it's 13k strong in EU and 10k strong in NA so your still pretty much spot on.
