draky the best argument is wind waker hd which had an opening of 30k,worse than hyrule warriors 75K,and till now has sold 1M+ because of europe and especially of usa!(bayonneta will have a 30k opening?)i cant say that i m optimistic about bayonetta 2,the only thing i can say is:why not waiting for the western release,seeing how will do ther and if it fails ,then call it a flop,calling it a flop now is premature.Also taking as an indication one market isnt irrational?...

You can't ignore the widespread Wind Waker bundle.

Is possible and i again think this.

Wonderful 101 have sold 5K first week in Japan.

Now, the game have sold 50K.

The game sell 500 on week, so, by end of year, will sell as 65K-70K, and by end of gen will pass 100K.

So, will sell x20 first week.

I don't think that Bayonetta 2 will have the legs for x20 first week, but x10 yes, and if will sell 25,000 first week, will close with 250,000 lifetime (even 300,000).

This made me realize we finally got a top 1000 for 2013 from Media Create.

Wonderful 101 was at 14,134 for the year.  VGC has it at roughly double.  VGC tracking for games that have fallen out of the charts is generally pretty spotty.  In TW101's case it only spent two weeks in the Media Create top 50.

Now maybe they were eventually able to sell through the initial shipment this year, but I rather doubt retailers kept ordering more to get it to crawl to 50k.  Much less 100k by the end of the gen.  Interestingly enough, VGC has TW101 over 11x higher in 2014 than Platinum's other game that came out last year, MGRR.  On Amazon Japan MGRR is 83rd for 2014 and currently 265th.  TW101 is not in the top 100 for the year and currently 1,028th

Also, expecting a 10-12x multiplier for Bayonetta 2 is ludicrous.

Thanks for posting. Hadn't seen the top 1000 for last year.
