Platformer overload on the Wii U, no real ad campaign, delayed until after Christmas, too hard may have played a slight part, etc. Plus, the DK franchise has been in decline. 6 million on the Wii is decent, but that's on a user base of 100 milion. The series really peaked in the SNES era, when the first two games were both in the top 10 bestsellers of that system (and the first game was the second best selling overall).
