So it would appear Bayonetta 2 has flopped. We need to talk about it.

if bayonetta 2 managed to sell 500k in 3 months then it did better than expected. Considering that the first title only managed to sell 1.35 million in 7 months with the combined sales of ps3 and xbox 360 versions(meaning that bayo 1 sold about 700k in each console) and that both consoles had and installbase between 30 million and 40 million each back then, then 500 k is quite good for an installbase of just 7million on wii u's case, not to mention that there are still many month left to reach the 7 months to do a more fair comprision
