Forums - Sales Discussion - Bayoneta 2 supposed system seller

Every time I see people throwing out Bayoneta 2 as a system seller for WiiU I get confused...

If bayoneta 1 (a good game as far as I know) flopped hard on two platforms that embrace third parties and get a lot of them outselling 1st parties... how do they expect the sequel to really boost WiiU when most 3rd parties perform bad (and absolutely horrible when compared to 1st parties)? If even most Ninty top rated games have a hard time boosting WiiU what hope is there for Bayoneta?

For me this is another case of hyping because of being exclusive to platform of choice like Wonderfull 101 (it was really hyped to great sells, but flopped hard) than a real chance of blockbuster.

What do you think?

Im looking forward to it. Did like the first one

Overhyped? Maybe.



I think it has a chance of getting the core audience to the wii u. Not a lot of people, but maybe a few.
I know a lot of people who buy it because they loved the first game!

It didn't flop hard, but it didn't do very well. I expect a few hardcore Bayo fans will buy Wii U for Bayo 2, but that will likely be in the 10s of thousands. So it will sell a few systems, but it won't do anything to change Wii Us fortunes.

They were multiplat owners or they changed from X360/PS3 to WiiU?

Craziest thing I see is that there's some Nintendo fans now saying Zelda U isn't a system seller, yet the same ones will use Bayonetta and Hyrule Warriors as an argument.
I really don't understand it much. Same thing with Splatoon and Captain Toad. They're far from system sellers.



The only place in which Bayonetta 2 could be a system seller, is in Japan, and that is only because of that Bayonetta movie, expanding the series, but aside from that it is being glorified to much, the best it could do is maintain sales at a healthy level, while SSBU arrives.

I dont think many Bayonetta fans will buy the WiiU instead of PS4 or XB1, but some might get the WiiU as well.



It will move systems but I think what it will really do is give people a reason to buy a wiiU this holiday cause during christmas, you get Beyonatta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Smash Bros and Mario Kart on the wiiU which should sell like crazy when u put them together. Heck, if Smash Bros has a promo like MK8 did, it will be awesome

Soo what I am saying is, it will move systems when it comes out but not by too much. Instead, it will help during the holidays by giving people another reason to buy a wiiU

Multiplattform owners! Most from PS3 to Wii U / PS4.
