Oh... and c0rd.

The whole reason why the DS version of Mario Kart should be counted in your comparison is well...

Because it was the DS that was a major catalyst in making the Wii version as big as it is. The same goes for NSMB DS helping out NSMB Wii.

DK hasn't had a proper game released for YEARS. It also doesn't have the advantage of having a big selling game on the DS like MKWii and NSMBWii had.

Everything points at it being nowhere near as big as NSMB Wii on both hardware moving capabilities and the number the game will actually sell.

DKC will sell at least 10 million units. The series is very popular, as the sales of SNES show. There is a lot of pent up demand for the game, as the last DKC game hasn't come out in over a decade. It is also the type of game that appeals to lots of people, simple side scrolling platformer.

In response to your other post, I should have clarified. What I meant was, Wii is PAST its peak, while the HD consoles are not.

You make it sound like it's guaranteed to sell 10 Million. It's not. Not at all. No DK game has ever sold over 10 Million units. And the last DKC game on the SNES sold 3.5 Million units...

The DKC games on the Gameboy Advance failed to break 2 Million units.

DK64 managed just over 5 Million units.

I don't see how you think it's 100% on to sell 10 Million units. It's like me saying Gran Turismo 5 is 100% sure to sell 15 Million units because of "pent up demand".
