Nintendo is the only company that can t have a flop no matter how few sales-

If Nintendo can make money selling a few hundred of one of their brand titles with an amazing art style (I m sure it was not cheap) then they are using sweat shops to produce their games

since when is 50,000 sales in launch week in the USA good for any game?

I guarantee this Kirby title is a flop as far as Nintendo is concerned- to bad too

Can any person site and info that gives the aprox cost of one of Nintendo s "budget title" will they please let the forums know- I am pretty sure it cost Nintendo much more than many peole think to develop the quality games they produce- even a flop like Kirby because it was still developed to be a quality game- it just did not work out this time-

It did 52k in the launch month and another 58k in its 2nd month, putting it at 110k, people are always way too quick to call flop. Nintendo games are known for having legs and don't sell massive amounts up front. It's similar to Tropical Freeze, it debuted at 130k in Feb 2014 and by Dec 2014 was over 440k.

This game will go on to sell over 500k lifetime worldwide, not a flop for a low-budget title. 

Yeap, its unfortunate. Talking kirby only, Kirby Triple Deluxe was i believe slightly ahead in the US first 2 months. It went from 42k (First Month) to 85k? 

Oh its over 350k SOLD, making at least 400k shipped to retailers.

Kirby Rainbow curse known sales are 110k US, 70k+ Japan. Add in restof NoA and shipment #s (which is sold for Nintendo and its definitely over 250k WW. I wait intill end of this year to say what it'll be lifetime.

Its guaranteed to be 400k WW Shipped at this point.
