If this game sells more than 500k I'd be shocked.

If the Bayonetta fanbase is loyal enough (and most likely those that are pissed that it's on Wii U are a vocal minority), they can account for a decent percentage of sales.  I don't think it would be shocking at all to see 500k+ sales.  I would be more surprised if it matches and/or outsells the original PS3+360 combined LTD.

edit: I'll just use this post to say that I think 900k LTD is a reasonable prediction for this game.  Wont make any bets on it, though.

A fair question is "who is the bayonetta fanbase?"

What does our data say about what sales were before the game hit the bargain bin? How quickly did the game get there?
