I have no problem with any of ur guesses except DKC, what makes u think it will flop? I mentioned this earlier, every mainline console DK game released in the past 20 years has sold over 5 million with the exception of DKC3 and that was most likely due to it being the third DKC in 3 years and releasing after PS1 & N64 were already established. If u have a solid argument why it will flop so badly, id like to hear it.


Just looking at Donkey kong country Returns, the vast majority of its userbase is North American (3m). The game only sold 300k in Europe and managed 1m in Japan. Now 1m is quite strong for japan, but my thinking is that the Wii U is going to bomb in both those territories this fall and sales will likely be 50% of what they were for the wii.

So I'm thinking 

NA: 800k
Europe:200k
Japan:400k

But I forgot about other regions which will probabl add 300k-500k 

So I'll revise that 1.5m figure to 1.7m

I should probably explain why I think the Wii U is going to bomb in Japan, but Its quite extensive with sales data so I'm going to make a thread about It :)
