I've followed multiple streams of info on Bayo 2 since it launched. Many reported the game was sold out or close to sold out at retail in its first week.
#6 to out of top 40 in one week reeks of undershipment, even for a WiiU game.
Bayo2 debuted at over 12k, whereas DKC debuted at 8k and Hyrule Warriors debuted at over 15k. Both sold about 3-4k their 2nd week and remained in the top 40 their 2nd week. I think the previously thought very best case scenario was that Bayo 2 could match DKC in sales potential and that's what they shipped to -- however those expectations were clearly beat very quickly.
That's how I figure they undershipped the game.

Nope. Bayo is far more niche than DK and even Hyrule (Zelda attachment). 2k is in the area of the 3-4k second weeks of Hyrule and DK. If those games had like 8k second weeks I'd be inclined to agree.

2k likely would still put it on the UK top 40 though.

Not according to our charts, remember software is rising now as well.
