As for the Nintendo part. I couldn't care less, but if you care about the game just buy a used Wii U, finish Bayonetta 2 then sell both the day after that, or watch a youtube video

As for the flop part, I agree. It will not sell as bad as those poor Ubisoft ports, nor W101 cause it's totally niche, but still will sell poor. It has exclusivity going for it, as well as small but dedicated Bayonetta fanbase, and Nintendo fanboys who will buy the game for several reasons like it being exclusive, fact that they want to show that mature games can sell on Nintendo hardware, that 3rd party games can sell well on Wii U and encourage more 3rd parties on board, all that jazz, even though they normally wouldn't be interested in a game otherwise. I don't know how many of those are there.
My prediction is 500k in the foreseeable future selling at a decent price range, and after that crawling up with low numbers at bargain bin prices. Maybe something like 700-800k LTD.


This is bad advice, drop your PS4 preorder and buy a Wii U.  The Zelda bundle will be perfect for you.

You want the OP to drop his PS4 preorder, or me?



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

News for you..Bayo 1 flopped on the other systems, hence why the sequel got canned. Nintendo saved it, and regardless what it sells at least i will be able to play it, screw everybody else ;)

The OP,  you are already in Sony's soup but not seasoning.

Calling it right now, whatever your sales predictions are, lower them x10 and you won't be far off.

Why on earth would they release a sequel to a game that had nothing to do with Nintendo's platform? This will likely go multiplat, no way they can continue their relationship with Nintendo and the failing Wii U. I for one wouldn't buy it even if I planned on getting a Wii U. It's a slap in the face for the fans.

 


Someone is a bit angry that they may have to buy a Nintendo console to play a game.

How do you know he has a PS4 preorder? I mean, everyone has one cause it's so amazing, but still, you can't know for sure.

Looking back at the Wii library, games like this didn't necessarily sell poorly. MadWorld, which is pretty niche even for its genre, has sold over 0.7 million. And for those who say that the Wii simply didn't support M rated games, note the high sales of Resident Evil 4, a bloody port, the Call of Duty games besides Modern Warfare 3, and even the mediocre sales of a Silent Hill game without any combat.

And if anything, the Wii U is more Mature friendly than the Wii ever was. ZombiU, despite mixed reviews, is the third best selling game on the system.



What an incredibly original thread.

I was guessing like you're guessing, like I don't have a PS4 preorder.

ZombiU though hasnt made a profit for Ubisoft.
