Forums - Nintendo - Bayonetta 2 will flop hard

Funny how so many gamers don't care about the franchise but still feel the need to make comments about how bad it will sell lol

Well, it is a sales site, after all. 



Who cares if it's a sales site, why comment on a game you have no interest in, just shows your butt hurt, I don't comment on posts or games I have no interested in.

 

Well, I have two thoughts on it.

1: Obviously it wont sell well, that's a given. The original only barely cracked 2 million sales on a combined userbase of over 100 million. Bayo 2 will come out on a userbase that's just over 5% of this.

2: However I don't think it really matters if it sells very well or not. I think Nintendo never invested in this game to be a big seller, but to hopefully draw in gamers from outside it's usual fanbase. Nintendo could easily have put the money into a game that would get high sales within its current fanbase, but I think it was a good call to try to expand it's appeal beyond the Nintendo faithful.

I'm actually quite anti-nintendo, but between Bayo-2, W101, Monhun Ultimate, Lego City and the new Sonic game I might just crack and buy a WiiU at some point. They are building up quite a nice range of 3rd party exclusive games and despite my grievences with the gamepad and the console's power, they are doing very well getting proper, exclusive games for their system, even outside of their traditional 1st party offerings.

that last part is probably not true. But thats besides the point. Its a forum on a game website, meant for discussing. The fact you are even in this thread tells me you must be the one butthurt. The general consensus is that the game will flop. Thats coming from people who have little or a lot of interest in it, dont need to like Bayo to see that.



I'm a Nintendo fan hence why I'm in the Nintendo forum, and plan on buying Bayonetta 2 hence why i'm in a Bayonetta thread, I have nothing to do with the other forums, is that alright pal?

good for you, why not stay on topic instead of trying to derail the thread. Will Bayo 2 flop or not? If not explain why, thats how things are usually dont around here.



I've already said I think it will sell similar to Madworld



 

It'll likely flop no doubt, but you can be dam sure it'll take my money day one!

Bayonetta was one of my fav new IP this gen and is one of the reason I picked up a Wii U. I hope they'll have a nice collector's edition.

I hope it'll help push Wii U sales, its such a fantastic console.

Shouldn't be that hard to bring it to PS4/XB1. They could even try to kickstart the damn thing. I just know that the game will bomb because the people who enjoyed the first one aren't going to buy the Wii U anytime soon.

It's being funded and published by Nintendo. While it's understandable people are upset they can't play it, having played the first on a different system, everyone should also be grateful to Nintendo that the sequel even exists.

The two choices were either make it a WiiU exclusive, or never make the game at all. Pretty easy choice is you ask me.
