Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Bayonetta 2 Debut Sales in Japan are 7x Higher than The Wonderful 101

Despite the major media unfairly singling out Bayonetta 2’s Japanese sales (despite not doing that for a multitude of PS4 games). A little fact that was purposely ignored by many is that Bayonetta 2 actually sold 7x the amount the Wonderful 101 did at launch. The Wonderful 101 debut sales were around 5,200 units. Bayonetta 2 debuted with a little under 39,000 units sold in about two days.

Lifetime to date sales in Japan for the Wonderful 101 site at around 53,000 units in Japan. Bayonetta 2 will surpass the lifetime to date sales of The Wonderful 101 soon, if it hasn’t done so already. Theorically specking, on  paper you would think the Wonderful 101 would have sold more due to the "demographic" of the WiiU, relasing in a Country where Handhelds are King and Consoles are second. Are these sells decent?

That says more about how poorly W101 did than anything.



because TW101 did really poorly



Click HERE and be happy 

DK: Tropical Freeze did almost exactly the same and is still sitting at under 700k globally and that's an established Nintendo franchise with decent legs...
There simply is no way of spinning Bayonetta 2's debut into something promising; but I won't fault the dude over at playeressence for doing so, it's his job, after all.

In theory Bayonetta 2 could have LTD sales in Japan by end of the year 100-150K max with digital sales...

He's in the same camp as Doctre81... 

Make sure to check out my multi-part video series where I exposed the evidence bias against Nintendo with major media sites

... That was also in the original article. That said video is ~2 hours long.

What job? Following SPJ guidelines/rules?



Is that impressive?
