It's a multiplayer sidescrolling platformer (like the one that's sold nearly 16 million in less than a year) from a company which has managed to not only revive an old franchise but exceed the original. I think I've good reason to be optimistic with this one.

First Week: 1.6 Mil

15 weeks: 5.5 Million

LTD: 9 million

FW: 600k

15 weeks: 2 million

LT: 3.5 million

?

Hard to guess really.

Edit: I kind of underestimated the way Nintendo handled the game. The ad campaign was pretty big.

okay, i might have put it a bit low. I`ll say 2.250 million - i was thinking more of it`s first year. But if it passes that, it won`t be by much.

I know that it was pretty successful in the SNES days but i honestly don`t think it will repeat that success, although 2.250 is already high!

8 Million Lifetime

After taking a look at how the other DK games did on home consoles...

Donkey Kong Country - 9.3 Million
Donkey Kong 64 - 5.27 Million
Donkey Kong Country 2 - 5.15 Million
Donkey Kong Country 3 - 3.51 Million

And how DK has done so far on the DS/Wii this generation...

DS -
Donkey Kong Jungle Climber - 0.49 Million

Wii -
Donkey Kong Barrel Blast - 0.59 Million
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (New Play Control) - 0.54 Million

Judging how the series/character sold in the past, and how it's done in more recent years, I think my prediction should be pretty close.

Week 1 - 800k

Week 15 - 4.75 Million

Lifetime - 9 Million

First Week: 800k

15 weeks: 3.8 Million

Lifetime: 5.7 Million

First week: 900k

Week 15: 4.3 million

Lifetime: 8.5 million

Not the best guess, but worth a try.

Still a complete lowball.
