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)...

Now, what on Earth brought you to that conclusion? GT5 only sold 20k less in the latest chart and is 1.3 million ahead LTD.

GT5 started significantly higher, the gap's been closing nearly every week since December started.  Both games will have long legs, but DKCR will sell more consistently and get the higher holiday/bundle lifts.   

Why don't you go look at the the aligned launches?

GT5 first week: 2.3 million
Donkey Kong first week: 900k

So the gap has only closed 100k since launch. At the current rate it'd take over a year for DK to pass GT5. So much can change in that time. You don't know where each game will stabilize and when and if they will be bundled.

You cannot say at this point that one of them will "assuredly not" reach 10 million while the other "might".
