DKC just isn't a game that excites people right now. A lot of people enjoy it, but few will buy the system for it. Not unlike NSMB, the situation is made worse by the game looking a lot like a recent predecessor. Nintendo should have followed the Wii model and released the 2D platformers later in Wii U's life. The launch needed new IP's, mature titles and 3D graphical stunners in a variety of genres. 2D games with a similar experience to previous titles are not going to make a lot of gamers migrate, no matter how good they are. Nintendo really dropped the ball on launch year software.
That said, they are dominating the Japanese market.
