It's genuinely hard to tell. But I've been laughing the entire time either way lol.

What?
You have misunderstood. I have already mentioned Microsoft's 'poor publishing practices', I don't think the Kirby IP would do very well under them at all. Personally, I think them trying to attain the Kirby IP is a terrible move considering they could just invest in their own platformer; but that still doesn't push aside the realities of the industry and Microsoft's tendency to fork out for things that they don't need.
Did you see all of the studios they got recently? A lot of them aren't great acquisitions on paper.
Perfect for Microsoft then, no?
My initial valuation at US4.5 B was clearly atrocious, don't get me wrong, but I still think MS might go for the IP.
Why would HAL want to leave Nintendo? Especially after how things went down with Rare.
So, we're just entertaining you and all you have to offer is just "it's my gut"?
Yeah, I'm honestly baffled this is something that is happening.
This must be one of the weirdest thread in this forum's short history. lol

What I find fascinating about it is how out of nowhere it came. Like oh a thread about how well the latest Kirby game has been doing, PERFECT FOR THE X THEN!
This is some next level port begging.
This is true I guess. It's not a game made for me but then I never took to the Kirby games all that much in the first place.
deleted. ms is not going to buy kirby
its a charming game but really easy. if you have kids or nephews/nieces that you can play with go ahad.
Still haven't bought it, but am planning on it. But great numbers so far!
You think it's gonna pass 5 million? No chance!
It'll probably become the second best selling game though. Pretty great result for what is a pretty mediocre entry in the series really (the Modern Kirby Trilogy was leagues better than Star Allies; the latter isn't even close).
I dont want to shit on Kirby or anything, cause I really think the games are charming and fun. But they played the safe card with this entry. Why couldn't they have change up the formula, like they did with 3DS games? Or why not Air Ride 2? Seeing how Nintendo has drasticly changed the formula of both Zelda and Mario, it would be cool to have that happen to Kirby aswell..
I don't blame them since it was their first HD game, developpement can get pretty rough for an unexperienced team. The next one will probably be more ambitious/original.
I do think it can legit do 3-4.5 million if they keep adding dream friends + more levels till 1 year anniversary.
Game is shaping up to very nice status now with all the free updates.

I'm happy with Kirby being a quality 2D platformer. There aren't many with this level of production.
Next title just need some Triple Deluxe/Robobot-like levels and it's perfect.

i wonder if yoshi has the potential to become a big, kirby-tier hit too. it's launching around the same time as kirby did next year. they do have to give it post launch support, and i hope the delay means they're going to give good-feel time to work on it to make sure it's a packed game.
Yoshi's WW did like 1.4M and it was a Wii U game. The next one will surely beat it.
That's what I was wondering. It's selling less in the same timeframe?
More, it'll become the second best selling Kirby ever after the Holidays.
Nice! I found it to be a very charming Coop game. Didn't keep it, because it was a little too expensive for it's length, but the post launch content seem really good!
This is my hope too, especially after
that incredible final boss battle in Star Allies.
Given how successful Odyssey was and how Kirby has always been more about exploration and experimenting with cool abilities than platforming, a 3D collectathon just seems like a natural fit.
Christ, I got the biggest laugh out of this thread and I would have never expected to LMAO
