I don't know who thought dk was going to sell that much at that time especially with wiiu being about 6mil when the game released?  (4mil+).

That said these figures are end of 2014 so the game might land between 1.5mil to 2mil which I think most predictions were around the 2mil mark. 

I need to see if I can find the old threads for the games predictions. I hope I didn't say 3mil lol


I had these old threads in my bookmarks but I bought a new rig and Win + browser and everything is new. Let's just say that no one agreed with 1.5 million lifetime, there were even quite a few who believed that 1 million in Japan alone was a lock as I remember.
Doesn't matter though; the biggest titles on the Wii U have performed really well and Splatoon was a proper sleeper hit!

Talking about Splatoon, it's almost outselling DK 3:1. Impressive.


Now that's the real surprise of the generation, I never imagined it would have any decent sized audience.

Well, that's the reward for the risk of a new IP.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Indeed, let's hope they try something similar again!

Honestly if DKC is at 1.12 million shipped end of 2014, it very well reasonably could be just shy of 1.5 million end of 2015 - maybe even higher. Many 1st party WiiU games are undertracked as is - wouldn't be surprised if this is one of them.

If Nintendo decides to include it on a Nintendo Selects priced at $30 or less, 2.5 or even 3 million lifetime still isn't out of the question - especially if NX is backward compatible.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
