DKCR already the best selling western developed game in Japan this generation, and it's actually tracking ahead of DKC2/3/64 going by Famistu numbers.  Amazing really, it's going to be a million seller and probably then some... lol, I can't help but remember when certain posters (who shall remain nameless) were saying it's the same (disappointing) story as GT5 and insisting I was trying to "make thing look better than they really are" when I compared DKCR's sales to the DK series historically. How's that crow taste boys? ;)

I remember someone originally putting down 1.5m as their estimate for the game's lifetime sales in the prediction thread.  

I think I put something like 800k fw and 7.5m lifetime, which I don't think is too bad

I expected lower than you actually, like 600k.  Then during the first week I looked at historical DK series sales, and realized it was going to be way bigger considering the sort of modest debuts and long legs DK games have.  1.5m is pretty high but not out of the question, amazingly...
