Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The Wonderful 101 sell better in NA

famousringo on 26 September 2013

The only thing worse than those numbers are the fact that 15k is enough to crack the NA top ten this week.

This game deserves more than the 20k~ WW FW it's gonna get, hard to see it push past 100k lifetime at this rate.

I think it's closer to 30k WW FW. Since it's practically to 50k, I think it could still hit 100k by the end of this year. Depends on the Holidays.

I find it frustrating really.


 I agree, I really wanted to like the game but I played through the demo and just didn't have any fun.

Obviously there was one game that people wanted to buy this week, so it sucked up all the sales like a black hole.

This really makes me sad.

The demo is designed to be played through more than once. Its frustrating like an NES game.

 


without being unforgiving.

For those who are wondering, the game is awsome. Hopefully good word to mouth will help it have some legs.

I was not expecting this level of flopness. I mean, yeah 200k LTD or something, but not this.
At this rate, Bayonetta 2 will be lucky to reach 100k.

    Except Bayonetta 2 is a game with WAY MORE hype and controversy than The Wonderful 101. And let's not forget the  Bayonetta anime.

We don't know. Wii U userbase is not as big as PS360, many could have not plans to buy a console for the game, other could not liked the first installment. I know it was hyperbole the 100k, but 500k still remains doubtful.

I agree. Pretty much spot on with the way I see it. A game that sold less than 2m on a userbase that was probably around 70m -80m at the time aint likely to do squat on a significantly smaller userbase. If the Bayonetta 2 was such a big deal the game would be on all platforms. Also there would be no talk of this being the last one... or so I think I read.

I find it hard to believe any not-to-distant upcoming third party wii u games will sell over 100k on what is basically a 2m or 3m userbase... probably a bit more by then. Not saying it is impossible but nothing points to this likely to happen.

What is really bad is that all the recent wii u releases surely are not making the developers their money back.

This really makes me sad. 

You think I'm delusional or something? The game has one week in America, why can't it leg out? I said "could," not "will." Hell, it might not hit 60k by the end of the year; how should I know? Just saying it has a chance. The Holidays are a big unknown.
