I won't bother with numbers, only that the most creative looking title of the bunch--Kirby's Epic Yarn--will not find the audience it deserves. 

Depding on the advertising, Epic Mickey could manage some massive sales. 

Kirby's a much stronger franchise than given credit for - I think it can hit two million if it sells anything like previous serious Kirby games.

Anyway.

Zelda's hard to pin. The facto f WM being mandatory will end up hurting it like the expansion pack hurt Majora's Mask, but it should come in at 5 million after a couple of years. Won't match Twilight Princess or the first game in terms of units sold, but it won't have anything to do with quality (again, see Majora's Mask).

Donkey Kong is even harder to pin. We haven't had a DKC in - what - 14 years or so? It's about time for a resurgence. I want to say 5.5 would be a solid number for it, but it could easily go higher.

Epic Mickey is the real wildcard, though. It could do as low as 1.5 or as high as 4 million after a few years, and it might also have tremendous legs. It depends on who advertises it; if Nintendo advertises it, it will do well. If Disney advertises it, it will do phenomenally.

Zelda has Wii motion plus mandatory?

I'm worried about Mickey's sales. People at least here on VGC seem to be apathetic towards this game. It's sad. I want it to sell because I respect both W. Spector and Mickey Mouse, apart from the fact that I think it looks atmospheric and fun to play.
