Was Dk:Tropical Freeze's Difficulty the main reason it did not sell that well?

I think its cause it was the billionth platformer on a console full of platfomers.. Its like when you keep on eating chocolate and then you feel sick but the only thing thats left is more chocolate... Chocolate is great on occasion but when all you eat is chocolate, it doesn't taste very good

No, it sold bad because it's yet another platformer that came out right after the holidays.

. Even with the Wii Selling over 100 million units, Donkey Kong Country Returns still was not able to beat the SNES version. Remember the SNES version? It came out at the end of the SNES lifecycle, yet still did glorious numbers!

There were three DKC games on SNES, and DKCR outsold two of them.

I'm a fan of a DCCR Wii, but I didn't bought this game yet. Maybe later, with a good occasion.
