I hear ya Beuli, I thought the same of GT5. It's like I said, either those games weren't enough to fulfill past expectations, or Japan is a shifting market.

DKCR is pretty much nothing like GT5 in Japan.  The former is the best series debut in 3 generations, the latter is the worst series debut (and follwing 2 weeks) in 3 generations.

Actually, looking at the numbers from main titles in the Donkey Kong/DK Country series, the sales are easily comparable. They sell on par with each other, but DKC:R had a far less impressive opening than past iterations.

GT5 had the worst opening in japan for the series, yes, but it's opening wasn't as bad in comparison.

Uh, did you look at the figures I just posted, it's more impressive than DKC3, DK64 or Jungle Beat.  It's well ahead of all the handheld games also (if you want I can post that data too, except the first DKL which never charted).  it's behind the first two SFC iterations, but not actually by much it turns out (less than 100k each)... again, the GT5 comparison seems less than apt all things considered. And honestly, at this point I think DKCR may end up outselling GT5 even.
