Based on it's performance on Amazon's most sold games of 2014 (not Amazon hourly!), I believe its undertracked

Great game that will sell much less than its worth. Wrong crowd. Thanks for giving me one more reason to buy a u though later ninty.

wrong platform, wrong audience, that's all


Better somebody gets to play it than nobody, most notably me :)

Game's reviews are really good.  Sales wise ill be happy to see it reach 1m but it really is on the wrong platform.  WiiU's audience is what will hinder its numbers.

Top 10 selling games on WiiU.  The only game that doesnt cater to the younger crowd is ZombieU with 720k and that was a launch title.  I hope Bayonetta 2 can reach 1m but we will see.  Its an over-sexualized game that is very differrent than lets say Mario, Pikmin, and Zelda.

I don't get why people try to use Amazon sales as proof of anything. Amazon is a fraction of overall sales. It's not indicative of anything.

I can appreciate your response so that I didn't have to say it.

As for Bayonetta 2, we pretty much all knew it was going to be a great game that didn't sell well. Living up to that.

I made the same mistake. He's talking about Hyrule Warriors.



I remember when Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time came out. Great game, even beating out Wind Waker amongst many in the gaming media at the time. The game was selling like poop until Ubi decided to give gamers a free copy of Splinter Cell for buying it.

Critically acclaimed games sell poorly all of the time--especially when facing the onslaught of quality holiday games. It's easy to get lost in the shuffle. Personally, I've always felt the game would fail to sell well but I never cared. As I stated in the past, the game can sell one copy and I'll be happy.....as long as that one copy is sold to me!



43,000 opening week. 455,000 Life... I just don't see this gaming being a big seller. Sorry all. :(



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Ive pre-ordered it. It looks like a great game and I liked the first one, but like someone already said "Quality=/=Sales"

Im glad they made Bayonetta 2, but I wont care too much if we never see a third one in the series.
