DKCR might actually pass 10m, GT5 assuredly won't at this rate.  In the end though, I think DKCR will just squeak ahead, it's on track to be one of the best selling DKC games really (while GT5's on track to be the worst selling mainline installment)...


How is it on track? It's ahead of GT4 and probably all other mainline GT's at the moment. It has already got to 1.5 million in America so it only needs a bit more than a million more there to meet most predictions. EMEAA is where the sales will be at for a long time I assure you.

GT5's already had a holiday, GT4 didn't at this point which makes it a somewhat apples/oranges comparison.  And even considering that, GT4 sold better in the US and Japan launch aligned... GT5's sales aren't really all that encouraging when examined carefully...

EMEAA are where most of its sales are at anyway. If those regions show growth from GT4 it won't need as good sales in Japan or the US as GT4 had.

They haven't necessarily shown growth though.  It sold more in Europe at launch, but it was also over a holiday period (while GT4 was a Q1 launch).  Sales aren't actually much higher even, which isn't really encouraging given the seasonal advantage for GT5... after a full year (and it's first holiday season), GT4 will probably be ahead.
