As we know, DKCR on Wii outsold basically all the Metroid Prime games alone and was one of the arguments to develop a sequel above other options, but now luck is giving the back to the DK franchise in its new iteration on Wii U. Will it outsell the worst seller MP on NintendoGameCube called Metroid Prime 2: Echoes?

Just 800k to go. Maybe with bargain prices like Other M at $5 it will.

Should be easily possible. Tropical Freeze had no holiday season so far.

add in digital, a holiday season, and a few years of a growing userbase and it seems possible, but right around there is this games ceiling.

Weekly sales so far are very low. I wouldn't expect a big bump. We have to wait to see if MK8 and SSB can help it.

Yep. I wouldn't bet on outselling by a large margin and agree that Other M and Echoes are the ceiling. Maybe at best Corruption but nothing more.

Unfortunately I think this game is going to be a victim of the Wii U's market failure. Pikmin 3 as well.

I suspect Nintendo will port DKC: TF to the next Nintendo handheld in a few years though (hopefully they can improve the load times on the port) so maybe it can add an extra 500k+ in sales that way.
