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?

Well thats only In the USA. and also Wii had a bigger install base, it doesnt matter if it even sold only 100 K, its the best game of the gen so far for me, and idc about the sales. I just said it was unfortunate, also returns has 9 million something, and Tropical freeze has 1 million, Thats not so bad compared to the install base at 2014 february. EDIT: Returns actually only has 6 millions, so tropical freeze sold 5 million less. thats not a big drop at all compared to the install base, TBH tropical freeze sold preatty good compared that no one seems to mention it anymore when they talk about good Wii U games
