with the install base the Wii had. It was no surprise that it sold as much as it did.

On the Wii U however...

 

P.S. Everybody did yawn with Donkey Kong was announced. Even d21lewis laughed when I asked him about it. You need to cool off and accept that the "hype" for DK is artificial.

N64 had an install base of just over 30m and DK sold over 5m

SNES had an install base of just under 50m and the three DK games averaged about 6m.

Gamecube had an install base of just over 20m and 2 spinoff titles that required accesories sold over 1m. A mainline traditional platformer would have sold around 3-5m on Gamecube.

When did I ever say anything about hype? I think this game will cause a modest boost for 2-3 weeks then sales drop back down.
