So funny how history repeats, especially when that history repeating is less than a year old... As I recall, almost EVERYONE here said the same about NSMB Wii, that it would only sell to existing Wii owners. When I said it would move massive hardware, noone believed me. Donkey Kong Country Returns is a similar type of game NSMB Wii is; a mass market sidescroller that appeals to many. Also similar to Mario, DKC is a series that has been untouched for a over a decade, which probably has created a lot of pent up hype. But at the same time, it's still a different game, that will probably pick up some gamers that NSMB Wii did not. Expect this game to be huge, then the crow eating will begin again, just like with NSMB Wii.. While it won't be AS big as NSMB Wii, Epic Mickey, Wii Party, Goldeneye, and Kirby could pick up that extra slack. Wii won't sell 4.3 million like last December, but I think a 3.5 - 4 million is very possible. |
Yeah, when was the game released? Oh no, maybe it was not the game itself but the usual holidayboost! That boost is not from those individual games but people buying wii for christmas presents. Usually parents buying consoles for their kids.
