Aha, that makes sense. It'll be number 1 by the time the year is done though, I'm sure.

As for why FL beat KSA: it's a much bigger and better game. FL is considered one of the best Kirby games, while KSA is more in the middle to lower end of the pack. I think KSA would've sold as well as FL is now if it had been acclaimed - 2D vs. 3D doesn't have that much to do with it.

I don't think this is true at all. FL got a much bigger marketing push because it was the first real attempt into 3D, and it being 3D caused a lot of people who were only moderate Kirby fans, or maybe burnt out on the original style, to buy it to give it a try since it was something new and different. I'd wager there were a lot of people that tried it simply because it was 3D.

EDIT: Now, it almost certainly has better legs due to being a better game, but 3D definitely had an impact on the initial sales rush.
