Bayonetta and Devil's Third are a good start.

Two niche games on one console from a brand that doesn't a good track record with third party nor attracting their fanbase to third party. Bayonetta will barely scratch 1 M lifetime and Devil Third will probably hit 700k at the most.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. Selling 1M Bayo2 and 0,7M D3rd are actually pretty good sales.

Would it really? Bayonetta 2 doing a million wouldn't be bad, but it'd certainly be disappointing. Series has grown a ton in popularity since the first one came out, it's also on a console that zero competition for that genre.

I don't agree with your reasoning.

1) How come would it be disappointing if Bayo1 sold around 1,8M in a 160M install base consoles? The series can't have grown a popularity higher than those 1,8M sales for sure and I bet 90% of those aren't on Nintendo's consoles. I wouldn't say popularity amongst Nintendo fanbase, but rather curiosity since most probably didn't get to play the 1st.

2) As far as the genre argument, that ain't quite true. And even if it was true, that doesn't equal sales. If a console is missing a genre/as lack of games of certain genre, doesn't mean it will sell if they put a game of that genre on it, means exactly the opposite, that it doesn't sell. WiiU barely has any FPS on it, why? Because publishers aren't happy with those sales. Any FPS selling 1M on WiiU would be a huge success, even though there is a shortage of FPSs on it.
