Questions 5., 6. sand 7. have been partially answered in Nintendos Financial Results Briefing from a week ago:

This forsees a big digital business expansion for both 3DS and Wii U with packaged games as New Super Mario Bros. 2 available on the eShop. The games purchased digitally are tied to one piece of hardware, so I wouldn't expect any kind of account system from Nintendo any time soon. The statement that retailers decide the prices of digital products is puzzling to me because I can't imagine how this should work.
Regarding the Wii U demand Nintendo forcasted 10.500.000 combined hardware sales for Wii & Wii U. I'd say that there will be no shortages this time, 'cause Ninny has been pretty bad with forcasting sales lately.
I'd like to ask NoE a question regarding the eastern european market. I live in Poland and Nintendo brand recognition is non-existent here, because the official distributor Stadlbauer is just doing an awful job. You can barely get a game at launch, there is no advertising, games are not localized (booklets come in black & white copies...), prices are higher than in western europe and technical support only just started last year. Why is eastern Europe irrelevant to you Nintendo?
