Retro PR teach us that they choose DK franchise over others ones, but sales have proved that consumers choice is to ignore the game.

If you are going to bring up a Metroid game, I can assure you, it would have sold just as badly, nevermind a new IP.

The blame for the sales failure is directed at the WiiU itself, not the game.

A new Metroid would have had a lot more hype than another Donkey Kong. It might not have sold as well but it would have made a bigger impact on hardware. 

Other M first week was 45k

So, you can guess.

And I agree, a Metroid HD could have generated more hype than another DK.
