Comparing first week sales of Bayonetta 2 to Bayonetta 1 in Japan is silly because the market in 2009 is vastly different than today's market in Japan. The same week Bayonetta 1 came out in Japan (2009) also saw the Wii sale 28,000 units, Wii Fit Plus sale 82,000, and the Playstation 2 sale nearly 2,000 units.
We have to admit that the market in Japan today is vastly different. These numbers are respectable for today's market in Japan. Bayonetta 2 is competing against the likes of Youkai Watch 2, and Super Smash Bros. What we can look at is the miserable lifetime numbers for Destiny in Japan, which saw a huge drop in its second week. That is a massive drop. It's a different market. We should all be happy that there is some quality software out there for gamers. Bayonetta 2 will do just fine because as soon as it comes out in America I'm getting it and I don't care if it sales another copy EVER!
