Your not looking at the entire picture. 

DK Returns first Year sold between 3.5mil-4mil (2 months) and 2 years (well 14months including 2 holidays) over 5mil. this on the Wii

DK TF sold 1.12mil in its first year (11 months) on a 9.2mil-9.3mil userbase. Sold about 30% of DK Returns, thats not bad at all. 

And DK TF gonna outsell every Metroid Game aside from 2, so..... :0


That's the thing though; those saying it would sell 3-5 million, or even 6 million, were the ones not looking at the big picture. We realized that the installed base would never be big enough for those numbers without a historical attach rate.
So, technically, we were among the only ones who did see the big picture.

I don't know who thought dk was going to sell that much at that time especially with wiiu being about 6mil when the game released?  (4mil+).

That said these figures are end of 2014 so the game might land between 1.5mil to 2mil which I think most predictions were around the 2mil mark. 

I need to see if I can find the old threads for the games predictions. I hope I didn't say 3mil lol
