I'd rather Returns To Dreamland got the attention, myself.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Well since Pezus posted it, it has to be a Sony title. The title has sold 10 million so it has to GT and nothing else. ;) Am I right pezus?

KIRBY'S EPIC YARN! F*** Yeah B****es!!!! lmao

Its Very Common for games to go down YoY especially when there over 2 years old (not counting different region releases), but one game proved that it can, and in fact not even in 8 months and w/o Holiday! Its sales are really coming from US, but non the less its doing great!

↓↓↓ Sales List in Years of Debut ↓↓↓

2010 ⇒ 1,004,449
2011 ⇒ 590,875
2012 ⇒ 277,094
2013 ⇒ 277,195 ←←←

Up by 101 copies! Can any other old game go up YoY? Discuss and give your applause for Kirby God Damn It >:(

It's really not that uncommon for this sort of thing to happen. Especially for games in a series.

As to what caused it, I'm going to say Kirby's Dream Collection, the seriously low price, and the announcement of Yarn Yoshi helped spur sales.

I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
