Kirby is "Not" A Flop......

A Counter to the previous thread... (saying it is a flop) http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=199450&page=1

Now Kirby RC had previously stated by VGC that it sold 26k, but NPD has provided the 52k figure show casing Kirby Didmt Flop!!! :)

In Comparison Kirby Triple Deluxe Debuted last year it sold 41k in its First month but legged out over 350k ltd (so far). Also to Note that it is a 3DS title and a mainline game vs Rainbow Curse a Spin off (and on WiiU).

Kirby Currently has sold over 120k leading to most likely 150k-170k in shipments without Europe + leg Momentum!

Again CONGRATULATIONS, Kirby your "NOT" A flop

Also didn't Kirby Epic Yarn have a 100k first month and go on to sell over 1 million in USA?

it's a little game developed by a few people, probably profitable.

It wont be like that here but i can see it doing 150k+ alone in US, maybe my 300k lifetime is a safe bet now :)

True, Nintendo said awhile back a Fire Emblem Wiiu game would need about 600k+ to profit, and we kno this game is easily a much budget friendly game compared to that

Wii U needs more million sellers

Ya I don't think it will have Epic Yarn legs but should see decent legs, another good comparison could be Tropical Freeze, it sold 130k last February and by the end of the year was 440k and still growing. This game will certainly sell a few 100k in USA and worldwide easily 500k+ lifetime.

This wont be a million seller... (srry i dont get wat you meant by this O.o)

This title was never really expected to be a Million seller so with that in mind, it never 'flopped'

Undertracked by half, definitely was not expecting that..

Definitely much better than it was before. Certainly not amazing, but all things considered, it will be a success in the long run due to legs. I think brand recognition and the budget price will move it forward.

It'll be interesting to see how much it sells LT.
