I didn't know Epic Yarn did that well. That's pretty good : ) However, do to some different scenarios, such as the Wii U's install base, the amount of promotion Splatoon is getting, and X being likely the biggest game coming this year, I'm feeling Wooly World won't do as well. I could very well be wrong though. I'd be the most glad if all three do excellent! xD

In what respect? I very much doubt it will be their biggest this year in advertising or shipments. They won't give it the Zelda/Mario/Smash treatment.

I guess I mostly mean in size and presentation?It looks to be the most appealing out of the 3 games in terms of presentaion, I think...

Potentially yes, but Nintendo would have to market it better than any of their Wii U games to date for it to fully tap its potential audience.

That's true. They'd have to do a lot of promoting with it, but so far they have devoted some time to it, while Woolly World has barely gotten a mention outside of E3 and Nintendo Directs. Unless they start marketing that a lot, I don't think it will do so well.

I don't think they'll market either well, but in the absence of a proper push, I think the more familiar brand will prevail.

I wonder if Yoshi alone is still a strong brand. He seemed better in the SNES/N64 days, but now, I'm not so sure. Hence, my doubt...

Yoshi's New Island on 3DS is widely disliked, yet it's still hit a million already.

Wait, what? Seriously...??? Well, looking like Yoshi will likely pass them if that's the case...

I'm just gonna go out and say I cant see many off these games Crossing 1 million.

I think Yoshi will sell well maybe having LTS of 2.5m ,but i think Splatoon will sell more, having that multiplayer element .
'XX'' looks amazing but i think it won't sell as much as Yoshi , maybe getting to the 2million mark. It's a niche RPG unlike Zelda and i think is reliant on sales from those that have played the first game on Wii and on the New 3DS..

Yoshi i think is a much more diverse game then DKTF. I played both in demo form at events and Yoshi is a must purchase for me, DKTF i still have not purchased , i was not on the edge of my seat when playing it. also rumors of it being a really hard game later on put me off. As i like medium difficulty games and when they get so hard that your there on the same level for weeks ,i just can not be bothered anymore. DKTF is a game i would buy used for under £15 ,but no more.

I hope they all succeed, they all seem like very fun games with different audiences as their target... Yet I want them all!

I'll be bold and predict Splatoon to be the best selling out of the three, followed by Yoshi's beautiful adventure, and unfortunately Xenoblade selling less but still cracking the one million landmark.

Hopefully they'll prove to be successful and profitable!
