There are currently 9 Wii U games to pass 500k, which will be number 10?

Currently Monster Hunter is closest at 480k meaning it only needs 20k to go. It has sold 20k so far this year so it probably will cross the mark sometime in late April or May.

Donkey Kong has only been out for 2 weeks (3 in Japan) and is at 310k, we dont know what its baseline weekly sales will be yet so its hard to determine when exactly it will reach 500k.

Personally I think Donkey Kong will win and if I had to guess when it will reach 500k I would say week ending April 5.

Monster Hunter may have passed the 500k mark if digital sales are added, there has been a sale on the Eshop in the past.

Im just using Vgchartz numbers or if we get official numbers from Capcom, ur probably right tho.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Donkey Kong will most likely win considering it still has the momentum of a new release. If it doesn't win this goal, it will still definitely outsell Monster Hunter this whole year, although that was obvious.

I can see DK's base number being around 15k for awhile, maybe a little more if Wii U owners decide to wake up.
