The Wii U is actually probably the least affected by the lack of digital sales tracking.

Yup agreed there are way more PSN and XBL users than there are eShop users.

In total sales or revenue yeah, but percentage-wise WiiU is probably slightly more important than XBL and the PS3 PSN users.


All in all tiny compared to the huge difference in PC sales (over 50% digital).


EDIT: Some numbers

In the US 78% of PS3 users have connected their consoles to the internet and 73% of 360 owners. (Wii 54%)
Result of a 2010 poll.

Worldwide WiiU has a 80% connection rate

From Nintendo's own 3DS numbers, we see the following ranking in connectivity:
Japan > US >>>>>>> Europe

wow! 80% is huge
