I doubt it'll sell more than one million, but if it does, it's because Nintendo fans will buy anything first party published, regardless of the amount of interest they have in it.

Any die hard fan will buy anything his company of choice published. That is what die hard fans do...That is not Nintendo specific in any way.

By the way, why do you think Nintendo fans will not have any interest in this game (The first was critically acclaimed and this one will most likely be too) ?

That's why Nintendo consoles have made a name for themselves that "third party doesn't sell" because every console publisher has a large fanbase that does the same.

There are a lot of Sony and Microsoft first and second party games that don't sell well, regardless of quality.  Nintendo though?  Games like Paper Mario Sticker Star, Mario Party 3D, and Tomodachi Life sell in the millions.  That's some real quality right there.  No wonder Nintendo fans don't support third party.  /s.

 

The best selling 3rd party game on the WiiU is ZombiU.  I believe that was bundled.  I think Bayonetta 2 will sell close to this, but won't break 1 million.  Wind Waker HD barely broke 1 million.
