Only reason im mentioning this is because i noticed Kirby's epic yarn is always in the top charts of global weekly (especially in USA). As of this year its sold 180k with 150k being from US! The total sales of Kirby Epic yarn of 2012 (global) was 277k, which means as of now it got 65% of sales without it being more than 4 months and Holiday!

 

Its a cool unique game but Kirby Return to Dreamland was so much better(my favorite kirby game). ANyway sales have past 2mil which is good for the franchise and being a home console game its #1. Its rank 6th now passing Squek Squad this year. 

How far will this game go? Can It reach over 2.5mil? Sooooo WHat do you think about this? YoY+ More......

If I'm not mistaken, Epic Yarn is discounted to $30, about half the price of Return to DreamLand. Plus its much more distinctive and an overall better game. Any system this late in it's life is primarily driven by lower end spenders, and probably people buying a system for the kids so Epic Yarn is an attractive buy.

But it has done well and is now due for a sequel in Yoshi's Yarn.

im not saying its bad game, i like it and im extremely excited for Yoshi Epic Yarn!!!!!! The price drop is helping alot, i think it'll sell between 500-600k this year making it have 2.36mil -2.46mil. That'll make it 3rd bestselling title in the franchise

Epic Yarn was $10 multiple times this year on sale. Wal-Mart.com in store and online, Best Buy in store and online. You can check slickdeals.com history.



It's just that simple.

I just bought it brand new for $10. It's easy to buy a game for that price

I bought Epic Yarn, Metroid the Other M, and Sin and Punishment for $20 on one of the Walmart deals.
