it won't turn tables but it's a respectable addition to WiiU library?

just look at DK Wii sales, about 6m!!

that game released on a system that was already well established and was selling great for a while, I never understood these comparisons because they made little sense. DKC for WIi sold well because alot of people had Wiis.  A lot of people dont have Wii Us and i dont forsee that changing just to play some more of the same.

DK64 sold over 5m on an instsll base of 33m and DKC 1-3 on SNES averaged 5-6m on an install base of 49m. Donkey Kong sells pretty consistantly no matter how well the console does. If Wii U only ends up with Gamecube level sales than DKC will still likely sell 4m or so. This game wont "save" Wii U but it will help sales from plummeting back to 20-30k/week early next year and will help build an overall better library for Wii U.
