Ya people always ignore that the game is heavily overtracked on here, 500k lifetime worldwide is a pretty generous prediction.
I remember a pretty recent quote from one of the higher ups at Sony saying that something like 60% of the games they publish aren't profitable but the really big sellers are able to make up for that. Perhaps Nintendo is willing to take a loss on games like this in order to add diversity and hopefully create a place where games like this can sell well in the future because they know big games like Mario Kart or Smash Bros will easily be able to offset the potential losses from a game like Bayonetta or Devil's Third.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
