65% of initial shipment sold
The Wii U failed to set the world on fire and as such,Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freezedidn’t sell exceptionally well. That isn’t to say the game was a failure (itbroke a millioncopies by quite a bit), but it sold worse than both versions of its predecessor (Donkey Kong Country Returnson Wii and 3DS). On Switch, though, the game is already doing better.
According toDengeki Online,Tropical Freezemanaged to sell around 90,000 copies in its first week on sale in Japan. This is nearly three times what the Wii U version did four years earlier. Put another way, the game has sold around 65% of its initial shipment, nearly doubling that of the Wii U original (which hit only 35%). Who says that Wii U ports are a bad thing?
