Well DKC 3 is the only title in the series to not pass 5 million. Every 3D Mario have passed 5 million. Wii Fit is a sequel to a game that sold over 20m, it wont sell nearly that well but 5m isnt out of the question. Pikmin, Wind Waker, Sonic all have potenial to sell 2m+.


There is plenty of potential, but I wouldn't say any of those games are guaranteed right now. The Wii U is selling so badly, and the competition is doubling, so I would only really be sure of their most consistent ones. That would normally be 3D Mario as well as Kart and Smash, but the reception hasn't been that great for 3D World.

We've got a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation here. Some people think the holiday titles won't sell well because Wii U sales are so low, while others (like me) think Wii U sales are so low because they don't have those titles out yet.

As I said before, apart from the most devoted fans it takes more than 1 or 2 games to justify the purchase of a brand new console. The end of year lineup will provide those additional games for people on the fence and then Wii U will do just fine.

Thats how I see it too, not many people will buy a $350 console for 2D Mario but I think alot of people will buy a $300 console for 2D Mario, 3D Mario, DKC, Zelda, Pikmin, Sonic, W101, Wii Party/Fit.
