And honestly, at this point I think DKCR may end up outselling GT5 even.

This week's sales hardly give much of any indication of that, especially if GT5 is bundled and DKC:R has no legs.

Are you even looking at the data?  Legs are what every DK platformer has had on home consoles.  Franchise comparisons for lifetime sales...

 

  • DKC: 9% fw
  • DKC2: 17% fw
  • DKC3: 11% fw
  • DK64: 19% fw
  • DKJB: 21% fw
  • GT: 30% fw
  • GT2: 51% fw
  • GT3: 33% fw
  • GT4: 62% fw
...the series average for DK is 15%, for GT it's 44%.  If DKCR sells the series average it'll sell over a million units lifetime.  If GT5 does it's series average, it'll sell under a million.

Have you looked at Prologue's data? If it can do that much in Japan, which had a far lower opening than GT5, why is it crazy to assume that GT5 will cross 1 million at some point? As I've said, you are obviously leaving out the possibility of bundles, which would easily push it north of 1 million.

GT5 is already bundled.  It hasn't seemed to help.
