Ouch. 60-70k lifetime in Japan? Heck; the 360 version of Bayonetta sold 64k first week in Japan and the PS3 version 138.

I'm gonna point out that may not be true.

MK8 boost kept wii U above 10k in Japan for 6 weeks so I think that was fairly long spiek considering how the market is ESPECIALLY since it didn't have a bundle to help boost sales to crazy amounts.   Of course we could also put the age of the IP in but since a lot of people tend to disregard that I'll do the same.

01./00. [PS3] Bayonetta (SEGA) - 135,242

* [WiiU] Bayonetta 2 - 38,828


wow,. bayo 2 did pretty good all things considered.

 

that ps4 drop makes me sad.   ..not that i really expected destiny to push ps4 at all but since it did i thought it would have at least a modest boost on the second week (~12k) before returning to baseline numbers.



Well, at least it didn't bomb as hard as everyone expected in the Tsutaya thread...
TW101 opened with 5K.

X1's last week with 4 digits for a long time.

3 wii U games in the chart! :D

 

(Ps4 drop off with a bundle more than mk8 drop off without) just leaving this here...

Means less than nothing.

MK8 week 1 = 330K,  week 2 = 73K

Destiny week 1 = 91K, week 2 = 13K

How about we wait and see what happens when PS4 is bundled with a game that sells similar numbers to MK8.

So, just over half what B1 did on 360 on opening week in Japan. And 1/4 what it did on PS3 opening week. At that time PS3 only had double WiiU's current install base in Japan. With luck it may leg it up to the 360's lifetime sales.

Clearly PS4 is still in need of games for the Japan market.

That's the most important number for any hopes of legs. Don't think it'll get a much of a second shipment.

Almost bomba territory if you ask me. Didn't even reach Bayonetta 1's 360 launch numbers (66k)

Even with Fatal Frame next week, I think PS4 will still be above the U.


ps4 dropped by 15k last week and you expect it to outsell wii u this week which has a new game...

How about we wait until the ps4 has a game that does MK8 numbers and doesn't have a bundle and then compare.  That's more fair than saying the ps4 has a game that does mk8 numbers beign bundles. I bet the drop off will still be more than the Wii U Mk8 2nd week AND that the boost will be atleast 4k less than the Wii U MK8 boost after 2 weeks.
