These figures make zero sense, why was the PS4 adjusted down of all things? I wonder how on earth anyone could reach that conclusion given the latest batch of shipment numbers.

Predictably, Bayo 2 did virtually nothing for the Wii U hardware sales, all hardware saw a sales increase and with a low baseline to begin with, the percentage is bound to be higher, just like the 1800% (I think it was that) increase in Japan last October when people went bonkers. That said; the software sale themselves are a bit higher than I expected, I figured Bayo 2 would sell somewhere between half and 2/3 of that after the Japan release. Still; the 1 million lifetime crowd have got to get down to earth again very soon, it's just not going to happen and won't even be close seeing as how it was out of the Japanese top 40 after a month and dropped from a 6th place debut in the UK and straight out of the top 50 in the second week, it is safe to say that this title won't have any kind of legs.

Are the low sales just due to being on the Wii U? Would Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 do a lot better on Xbox and Playstation - Platinum makes some of the best games out there yet their sales rarely reflect that

guaranteed Bayo 2 would have done better as a multiplat. Do you doubt this? The fanbase was there, and Ninty and Platinum were fools if they thought a majority of those fans would jump to Wii U.
