I don't think Donkey Kong Country games have ever been big system sellers, to be honest. I always saw them as the kind of games that sell to an established userbase. It might have not been the case with the first one on the SNES, but regardless it is how I've always felt about the franchise as a whole.

And then again, Retro Studios themselves haven't really made any system sellers in the past.

I mostly agree with this reasoning. I did love Tropical Freeze a crazy amount, but those games don't feel like system sellers. Just games that normally sell well on established systems. Granted I still feel the sales for this is a bit low, should be closer to 2million :(

Yeah to put it simply Retro doesn't make system sellers they make great games first and foremost... wait a minute, the whole reason they made DK over Metroid was because of sales!
