Probably. Nintendo could make them sell to a decent sized niche audience if they aggressively add some nice promotions for them though.

Pre-order Bayonetta 2 and get Bayonetta 1 from the eShop for free.

Pre-order X and get Xenoblade HD from the eShop for free.

Also throw in some collectibles for both ... an art book or figurine or something and keep the shipments of the game small so they sell out quickly.

When have Nintendo ever given away stuff for free? No, won't happen. Nintendo is pretty greedy. In to answer OP; both will flop so hard.

Depends on the state of the wii u. If it doesn't pick up then the games won't sell the best.

Probably wont do well at first but i think they will do better over time. I think allot of people will end up makeing the wii u there second sytem in the next 2-3 yrs. When that happens i think they will end up with about 1 mil. Each.

I see both getting 350 to 500k LTD...... at best.

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime.

The NX will be a 900p machine

Bayonetta 2 will probably sell anywhere between 200-400k, X is harder to predict, it appears to have potential for this userbase, I think it could do quite well, or it could the Final Fantasy spin-off of the Wii U era (The Wii's FF games didn't do very well), really hard to say.

As for the usual suspects (Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong) there is no doubt that they will sell well, betting against that is plain stupid.

Bayo 2 entered the pre-order charts last week so i believe it will do very well (2-3 Million)
X will match Bayo 2 or surpass it because Bayo 2 will have a wider appeal in NA and EU but will fail in Japan while X will have a great presence in NA ,EU and Japan
The Wonderful 101 is fantastic and i really hope that it will get to 1 Million
Mario did well only 70K behind 3D Land which is going to beat Galaxy one, i can see 3D World surpassing both sunshine and Galaxy 2, possible 8M LT sales
Nintendo could sell The Wonderful 101 using bayonetta 1, get TW101 (applies to owners as well) and gain a free Bayo 1 eShop download code

bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

As you have said even excellent first party games are doing bad on the Wii U. I don't expect much in terms of sales from Bayo and X... the only games that may actually bring profits are Mario Kart and Smash bros IMO.

But that's something for Iwata to worry about. Even if they bomb I'm sure I'll enjoy a lot some of the upcoming Wii U games.

do you think 3D World will not make profit?

It should I guess. I was thinking mostly on the upcoming Wii U games (smash, mk, FExSMT, X, bayo, Donkey kong, yoshi's)

out of your list: Smash, MK, DK, Yoshi and SMTXFE will certainely make a profit

X and Bayo 2 will depend on development cost, is 2 Million enough to make a profit because they will hit that mark especially X

bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)
