How important is Bayonetta 2 for WiiU's potential for future 3rd party game development?

The thing is... you know... you guys have got to start buying those bloody games!! If the only games that sell on Wii U are ones with Mario or Miis on the cover, there is no hope. Bayo 2 has to sell big time, as is W101 and pretty much every single other big exclusive 3rd party game. Let's hope ZombiU has legs, cause the way it's been selling so far isn't excouraging...

I personally think 400.000 for a new IP is rather good. Especially when its a mediocre game rushed to death and full of glitches. There're a ton of games also not selling on PS360 but it's almost like nobody blames them. Only when their games sell bad on Nintendo consoles it's suddenly their fault. 

It has already sold 400k? Thought it was worse. That's not that bad, but I think it should do a bit better. Even 600k would look much better. I mean, it may not be all that awesome, but it is the only single core game on the platform... And it got hyped quite a bit. If I bought a Wii U right now, this is the first game I'd play. LEGO City would be the second one.

That being said I don't plan on getting the PS3 version of Bayonetta 1 either because of the apparent issues with the port.

May I remind that Sony sent ninjas over Platinum offices to resolve the issue with the unexpected solution of... a simple HD install. I platinumed the game and never had a single issue with it. If this is what is really keeping you from getting for the PS3, I say there is no issue and go ahead without any worry. The game is one of the best hack n' slashes around and I plan to play B2 some way or another, legally or illegally.

Great to know! I haven't played it cause I'd rather play it on X360 (which I haven't got yet), but if it's ok, than I'll get it for my PS3. So what exactly do I have to do to play it ok? Buy on PSN or buy regular retail game and install? Is it a voluntary or mandatory install? How does it work?

Man, you got me there. I can't remember if the install is mandatory or not, it has been so long. But I mean, PS3 comes with an harddisc so it isn't an issue right? You put the game and if it is mandatory you just wait for the installation to occur after you boot the game, like any other game. If the install is optional, in the XMB you press triangle over the Bayonetta Disc and in the little menu there will be the option for "install". It takes no more of 5GBs if I remember correctly.

 

It's not an issue, just didn't know how to do it. This triangle menu can be a solution, thanks for this!
