Whether you use gamerankings or metacritic, Kirby's last five games were all above 75, and all but one above 80.  So good reviews either way you try to spin it.  VGC firures have Prime 3 at 1.9 million, which is less than Epic Yarn at over two million.  

Dunno why you're saying Kirby won't reach those sales again when Triple Deluxe is doing very well.  When you align the launches in all regions, it's selling better than Awakening, so it should settle somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million.  Rainbow Curse will probably sell about as well as most first party games are selling for Wii U, so somewhere around 750k and 1 million.  More importantly it will be cute and cuddly and fun.

80% on metacritic is not good, especially for a Nintendo game. I've played a lot of bad games with high ratings on metacritic.
Fire Emblem Awakening made a shit ton of money with dlc, it's a lot more profitable than Kirby:

"Additionally, in September 2012, six months after its Japanese release, Nintendo reported that 1.2 million units of downloadable content had been sold, bringing in an additional 380 million yen (about $4.8 million)."[72].

It hadn't even released in the West by then.

Would it really be so bad if HAL made something else for a change? Jeez. This is why Sakurai left.

And I just know Rainbow Curse will sell bad. :p
