Bayonetta 2 will probably sell anywhere between 200-400k, X is harder to predict, it appears to have potential for this userbase, I think it could do quite well, or it could the Final Fantasy spin-off of the Wii U era (The Wii's FF games didn't do very well), really hard to say.

As for the usual suspects (Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong) there is no doubt that they will sell well, betting against that is plain stupid.


Would be my guess... and honestly, those are good sales considering the userbase

 

I mean shit.  Vita is a couple million ahead and even with digital sales it doesn't have a 2 million seller.  Without it only has like what, 1-2 million sellers?

 

People need to ratchet down the expectations.

It doesn't have ANY million sellers on the Chartz, and I can't remember Sony or any third parties saying that it does either. This despite it having a bigger install base and a whole extra year on the market. Even if you're generous about the whole "60% digital" argument and give it to every game, that would bump up the million seller count to...what? 3 or 4, tops?

Both the Vita and the WiiU are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to market performance. As an owner of the former, it hurts me, as I know there's no incentive for third parties to do anything with it and Sony has shown little interest in picking up the slack.

Well Uncharted Golden Abyss is at 1.07 on here.

Outside that, definitly.  The only difference is that Nintendo more or less will be forced to do something with it since it's a home console rather then a handheld.  So i wouldn't be shocked for the Wii U to end up with a few tentpole titles above where the vita is at software wise... like the above.  

SMBU is at around 2.55.   2-3 million.  I think that'd be great for a tentpole WIi U game considering just how low console sales are.
