Also LTD for...

~W101= 104k
~ZombiU= 204k
~Bayonetta 2= 157k


While Mario Party 10 and Kirby are selling better than you'd imagine, I think the sales of Bayonetta 2 and ZombiU are more interesting. I realize this is just one market (the US), but these sales are not good. Both are really overtracked by vgchartz, unfortunately.

I just don't understand why people aren't buying Bayonetta. That game is spectacularly good.



It's because Nintendo has lost the audience that would buy something like Zombi U and Bayonetta 2 after years and years of mismanaging themselves in that space so that such an audiene now belongs entirely to Sony/MS. 

Nintendo basically relies on its hardcore fans for the majority of their console sales now, and they just buy Mario/Zelda games and even a large chunk of them own a Sony or MS console that they buy their third party content on. 

That's the problem. And yup, called it that Zombi U was massively overtracked, if it sold as well as VGC was reporting it would have gotten a sequel.
