I don't want to appear lazy for not reading 16 pages but... About the OP...

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).

You should've checked that again.

DKC:TF FW is 200k + Others (220k with Others)
DKC:R FW is 790k + Others (over 900k with Others)

Wii userbase was 76m back then. But you can't just calculate like that as it doesn't exactly work that way.
