True but they are all definitely "tier 1" games. If DK is in tier 1 it is somewhat close to the bottom. IMO it will sell 5m+ if hyped and marketed right and it's actually good on a userbase of 50m+. All of that is possible, it may take an age to reach 5m tho!

I think a lot of TF's sales shortcomings were because it wasn't what people wanted from Retro's first HD game, especially on a system already overcrowded with mascot platformers.

Didn't buy it myself but heard it was a really good game. Your explanation makes perfect sense tho.  Anything not named Mario, Smash or Splatoon struggled on the Wii u but Donkey Kong especially was way down on its normal sales expectations.
