Is that good for bad for Kirby?

Kirby's Epic Yarn did 90,000 first week in Japan and did just over 2 million lifetime. So by that standard we can probably take week one Japan sales of this game and times it by 22 or 23 for ww lifetime sales.

There's a pretty big difference. Epic Yarn was released before the holiday season on a popular System. Rainbow curse is released after the holiday season on an unpopular system.

of course it will double and triplicate its first week sales (20-30k), but it will struggle to break the 100k barrier, and forget that it will sell more than Captain Toad which was released before christmas.
