The argument for DKCR selling shit loads is that:
A) People's nostalgia for the DKC games will make it a much easier sell than other games.
B) the original DKC sold 9.something million on the SNES, possibly DKCR could do more on the much larger Wii userbase.
C) It's a 2d Platformer by Nintendo, possibly those who enjoyed NSMBWii last year could move onto it.
The arguments against are that:
A) People move on
B) DKC's pre-rendering was almost unprecedented at the time, meaning it garnered a lot of attention and possibly as a result sales
C) DK is nowhere near as strong a brand name as Mario
I personally think DKCR could sell anywhere from 4m all the way to 11m, this is all due to who Nintendo targets with the advertising (People who bought NSMBWii, fans of the original, etc), how well it appeals to NSMBWii fans, word of mouth, etc.
Myself I would be pleased with anything over 7m
