| TheSource said: The last Mario Bros. game on a console (besides Yoshi's Island) did well 20 years ago and the new one, NSMB Wii is still on pace to sell 25m copies or whatever. Why would you expect a disconnect with DKC over a shorter period? Returns should be bigger than DKC in the West since the Wii base is double (65m) the SNES base (32m) and comparable to DKC in Japan given the Wii base (10.8m) is only 20% smaller than SNES (12.9m) was when DKC released. |
Your theory doesn't hold if we analize, for example, Kirby sales on the Wii vs the previous consoles.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
