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.

It's common knowledge. DKC was hyped to the moon and back, it made the SNES the "cool" system again. Asking for proof of that is like asking for proof of the PS1's impact on the industry; it's well known.

?? thats a terrible comparison. All im asking is for numbers. if you dont have any, its just speculation on your part. You seem to be ignoring that game and alll main DK games have released in the holidays, where the systems would have sold much better ANYWAY regardless of what was out, it being shopping season at all. DKC was not the reason why SNES had a hardware boost that year, actually it wasnt the SOLE reason ill concede to that.

I suggest you read up on your gaming history.
