Now, your post got me interested. Will you admit the opposite when bayonetta 2 does better than the first game on west? because wii u's installed base is much smaller than ps360 at the time bayonetta released. the numbers for bayonetta debut are as follow:
X360: US - 91.5k on a 18.3 million base. Europe - 49.5k on a 12.4 million base
PS3: US - 53k on a 11 million base. Europe - 46.7k on a 13 million base
Wii U estimate installed base for october 24: US - 3 million Europe - 1.8 million
US pre orders for bayonetta 2 are at 46k, with several weeks left, being higher than the combined ps360 versions of bayonetta, with the same number of weeks left. it's also already above than the final US pre orders of the individual versions and close to matching the first week of the ps3 version. we don't have european pre orders but we do know that the limited edition had 15000 copies and it sold out quickly.
So, when considering US and europe numbers, the first bayonetta sold 241k on the first week, 144k on US and 96k on Europe.
Bayonetta 2 is set to match or exceed those numbers, even on a MUCH smaller installed base. what will you say then?
