Are you guys saying Donkey Kong will push Wii's sales  because the game will sell near the 10 million mark or is there another reason it will push hardware besides selling a lot? If you guys are expecting it push systems because Donkey Kong has never been on consoles for a long time then I think you guys are overestimating its selling potential because most of these fans bought the Wii because of NSMB Wii. I think most of the people buying Donkey Kong (and Kirby) are the same people that already bought NSMB Wii. 

I can't understand why one would want to buy the Wii for Donkey Kong or Kirby this year if they did not want to buy a Wii for NSMB Wii last year. These are probably long time gamers who are the minority.  


That's an excellent point and I do agree (I think Wii Party will be the main driver) but don't forget the value statement this will make for old school gamers/former gamers who may not have been will to shell out $250 for Wii/NSMBW but now it's Wii/NSMBW, Kirby, DCKR and quite likely NBA Jam, Goldeneye.    It will prompt a lot of people to cave in a get a Wii for the nostalgic goodness who may have held out until now.
