| Wyrdness said: If a niche game like ZombiU can hit around 700k (possibly 800k with digital sales) then I can see Bayonetta breaking 1m in its lifetime if marketed and pushed, I would bet money both ZombiU and W101 would of sold far less on other platforms even with larger userbases. Nintendo weren't even expecting W101 to sell anything at all and it hit 200k. The U has a strong attach rate at this point, I'll stick with a 1.2m lifetime prediction although I wouldn't be surprised if it sold more. |
I really get the sense that that Zombi U number on VGChartz is heavily overtracked.
700k+ for Zombi U is enough to warrant a sequel and enough to make a profit but Ubi Soft said it wasn't profitable. That's one of the main reasons Rayman was delayed last year. It would also mean at some point like 1/4 or 1/5 of Wii U owners had the game which also seems fairly dubious.
