DKCountry Returns to DKCountry Tropical Freeze

Not really, Tropical freeze sold atleast over 1 million, unfortunate because its such an amazing game

Let's look at USA NPD data for a second. Ignore Chartz.

 

According to NPD data, Donkey Kong Country Returns hit nearly 3 million only a few years after being on the USA market.

Meanwhile, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze still hasn't hit 500,000.

 

It's abundantly clear that Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a failure to NCL.

Tropical Freeze had a good deal greater production costs than the original with a more robust dev team...and for what? To sell 1/6th of its predecessor in the USA?
