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.

That i can agree with. I was simply stating most DK games are NOT release this early in a consoles life. I dont expect to see it move alot of HW intiially, but that doesnt mean i dont expect it sell like any other DK game.

Ur right DK on SNES, N64 and Wii released about 2 years before the consoles successor released. Does that mean Wii U is getting a successor in 2016?

While I have accepted that Wii U will end in a distant 3rd place, I believe the combo of Donkey Kong, Mario Kart and possibly Smash Bros all in the first half of next year should give it a pretty significant YOY increase and if they can continue releasing compelling software in a timely manner than Wii U will be fine for the next few years.


...no not sure where you got that from

U said DK doesnt usually release this early in a consoles life and I was agreeing with u then pointed out a trend I noticed lol
