honestly it seems that DKC has always been a game that people bought becasue they have the system, but not something to get a system for.

DKC1 was a MASSIVE hardware mover back on the SNES.

how much did it move? what is massive? did it move consoles cause it was DK? or cause that game released during the holidays where Ninty products usually fly off the shelves anyway? im going to go with the former or a combination of both

It was almost single handedly responsible for the SNES leaving the Megadrive in the dust. Caused a resurgence in SNES sales just when interest was starting to wane due to the arrival of the PS1 and Saturn, gave the console a second wind.

you keep saying that, but havent provided any data. For all we know all that could have been contributed to holiday sales, hell it might have had a price drop which would have done more for SNES than any game.
