I'm PRETTY sure that DKC Returns sold 540k on an userbase almost TEN TIMES the size of the Wii U's current userbase... Essentially: DKC:TF - 240k - 5.7 mil userbase DKC:R - 540k - 60 mil userbase It sold almost half what Returns did on ONE TENTH the userbase. And I didn't even check what the userbase size when Returns released in 2010, I just guessed that number, but it's no doubt MASSIVELY larger than the Wii U's current one. It's not really bombing, especially considering it will most likely top 1+mil easily, and see a boost when Mario Kart 8 releases (which will most likely see a boost in hardware). |
541k was just the North American launch. Also 237k includes two weeks for Japan as well as first week in all major territories. It's difficult to get a direct comparison since VGC doesn't show weekly sales for NA and Others, but after three weeks DKCR was released in NA/Japan/EU and had sold 1.662m. Removing the second and third weeks of US sales gives us 1.198m which is roughly equivalent to the time frame for current DKCTF sales.
