Zelda and Bayonetta 2 are two different beasts though, there was never any grounds for believing that Bayo 2 would do very well globally or in specific regions. As for predictions; I don't recall making any for Windwaker HD and I honestly had no idea how it would be recieved.

A well known, flagship franchise that Nintendo have released for thirty years cannot compare to a semi-niche title in a semi-niche genre on a completely unproven platform. If someone were to release the sequel to ZombiU or Wonderful 101; there would be no reason to expect high sales either. These are not very good numbers for Bayonetta 2 and lifetime sales will likely fall very short of many expectations. I guess we'll see over the next few weeks how it does; if the holidays can't help it move along, nothing ever will.


oooo for god's sake i do not compare them ;)  simply i disagree to take japan as  an indication for bad or good sales in the west and  i suggest to wait for the western release,if it also  fails there then feel free to call it a flop:P


It's true that Japan is a poor indicator of performance in the West, and vice versa, but I don't see any reason to think it'll do much better there.

Like I said; we'll see over the next few weeks, 2nd and 3rd week sales are a lot more telling of potential for lifetime sales.

i m glad you agree ;) i think in the west can do far better...in the best case can sell 1m LT :P
