The problem with Donkey Kong is that it's a platformer on a system that already has a number of high-profile platformers. The people who would buy Donkey Kong probably already bought the system for Mario. It's the wrong genre for a hardware bump. Even Bayonetta 2 will probably bring more new customers to the table.

Mario Kart and Smash Bros. are the only real hope remaining in terms of major system sellers this year.
