this has been said many times about many wii u games and is proven wrong 95% of the time.

Kirby and the rainbow curse should be able to sell 500k+

Well, probably is going to be a flop and that´s a pitty because Canvas Curse was great and this seems even better. It has the chance of convince people with it´s nice art cover and it´s good price, and probably will get good scores too (expecting maybe a 80 on metacritic) I just don´t think is going to have a big launch week, but probably, if it is good, it will have nice legs, so it will hit the 0.5m wall, but i´m not sure if is going to do it on 2015, seems like a good Xmas release, not a February one.

Something like 500K will be amazing for such a game.

Will it sell 1 million+ probably not. Will it sell enough to make a profit most likely. I doubt this game had a massive budget so its not like it needs to pull CoD numbers

It'll sell enough to make a profit. Kirby is an easily recognizable character and the franchise has been on fire lately. Plus it's a cheaper title so that will draw in more purchases. It'll be fine.

Yoshi, on the other hand, being also a cute colorfull 2d platformer seems like is going to sell so much better, i´m even getting a little hyped for Yoshi sales, only a little, but for Kirby... nop, it´ll make profit, that´s for sure.

It will generate profit, thats for sure.

Hopefully, though I wont be helping the cause.

Kirby could use a break. Soooo many other franchises that deserve the spotlight more than that pink bastard...

Huh? Kirby rarely gets games at all.
