That comment gave me cancer.

Don't worry, if you're covered by Sony's Life Insurance then both you and Sony might be saved. =P

Did greatttt



Lol? Did great? Is that sarcasm because it did absolutely horrible. Destiny on PS4 sold 3 times as much, Destiny, a FPS in Japan...... wow.

Also the the Wii U has 3 times the install base than the PS4, this game absolutely bombed.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this came to other consoles, the tweets from the director of Bayonetta said Bayonetta 2 was already in development for consoles so all that shit about "Bayonetta 2 wouldn't have happened without Nintendo" is bs now.

read closely and you will see it says ps3 not ps4

It competed with SSB3DS for attention on the Nintendo front.
It competed with Destiny for a like-minded audience.

I'd consider this good, considering that there are far more games that the Japanese are interested in at this time of year.

This game is not heavily bundled neither is a Nintendo flagship ip.If you expect Mario/Pokemon kind of legs,i have bad news for you.

I said nothing about expecting the kind of legs that Mario/Pokemon tends to get. I said longer than on other systems.

Bayonetta on PS3 sold more than 50% of its Japanese LTD sales in week 1. Similar for the 360 version. Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 sold almost 80% of its LTD sales in Japan in week 1. Wonderful 101, on the other hand, sold only about 12% of its LTD sales in week 1 in Japan. For Dragon Quest X, it's about 18%. The only notable Wii U title that I could find that shows anything like the PS3 front-loading was Monster Hunter Tri, and that was a launch title.

I can cherry pick examples too. (not to mention you're still using VGC data which we know is wrong).

Also, I do wish you wouldn't confuse clearance sales and heavy discounting with legs.

The numbers are quite low, but not bad. Not close to Bayonetta PS3's opening numbers or even XB360 numbers, but it was to be expected.

Why was it? Xbox 360 can do higher Bayo numbers, with a lower install base, whilst having it release multiplatform on a much more popular system in Japan, how is that expected?

Home consoles no longer have the same impact as they did back in those times.

BINGO

Don't you guys see the writing on the wall?  Consoles are yesterday's news in Japan and Developers are looking westward

I was talking about the first week sales of the Destiny on PS4, this is the second week. It sold 90k in its first week and Bayonetta 2 38k.

Since I can't post in the actual thread I want to...

Please, please, please stop the "only x days worth of sales" arguments.

Twelve Bayonetta 2 Nintendo 14/09/20 6,970 
45,797		 82

It's just not how it works, and I'm tired of seeing that excuse brought up every time something bombs when people don't want it to.

Bayoentta may yet still sell more, but it likely won't be through legs; it'll be through stock clearance discounts.

Signed and agreed, you would have thought that people had gotten this by now.
