Though I feel like the DK brand has been on a decline, Wii U userbase sales aren't too high at the moment and that it will end up being overshadowed by various Mario like things. |
That seems like a very lowball number, even the Gamecube titles were able to sell close to that and they were spinoffs that used unpopular bongo peripherals. A mainline traditional Donkey Kong on Gamecube would have probably sold 3-4m. Donkey Kong also seems to be a series that doesnt rely too heavily on install base, DKC, DKC2, DK64, DKC Returns all sold over 5 million and thats on consoles with install bases of 33-100m. DKC3 is the only one to sell less than 5m.
Just out of curiousity what makes u think Donkey Kong is declining? Wii U lifetime sales would have to be like 10m in order for Tropical Freeze to sel that low.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
