Kirby's Epic Yarn

North America:	1.41m	68.8%
+ Europe:	0.09m	4.4%
+ Japan:	0.45m	22.0%
+ Rest of the World:	0.10m	4.8%

And that was one of the most selling Kirby games? I think for the Wii when it was big.

In europe no one knows who kirby is... atleast not your avg joe.

Why are you only showing Kirby's Epic Yarn? 

Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby 64, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Kirby Super Star, Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Kirby's Pinball Land and most recently, Kirby Triple Deluxe, all sold the most in Japan. And when the games don't sell the most in Japan, they typically come very close to NA's sales. 

Kirby is equally popular in Japan as it is in NA.

Because... google.... first result on kirby sales + vgchartz, and its from the Wii, so I figoured its probably the most resent of the kirby series.

Yeah looks like its popular in japan as well.

 

But like if I asked any of my friends, if they knew of a game character called Kirby, im pretty sure almost non of them would know what I was talking about.

Hell I could probably walk into a electronics store / gameing store, and ask random people inside there, and most probably wouldnt.

Im european and my perception is basically... no one knows kirby here.
