First week right? There's no way in hell they'll sell that low worldwide.

I hate when people talk about 3D Worlds first week sales negatively.

It's already outsold Galaxy's first two weeks. It has 800k, Galaxy I'm pretty sure at this point had only sold 700,000ish, and that was on a bigger install base.

Wonderful 101 wasn't advertised and all Nintendo did to market it was give it a Nintendo Direct.

ZombiU sold poorly because of it's "sub-par" reviews. It's can actually be compared to DR3 in many ways.

The Wii sold, and it had little to no third party support besides mostly shovel-ware. The Wii U still isn't selling because for many people, it still doesn't have the games to warrant a purchase. It has nothing to due with third parties.

Call it damage control, but we can't say anything yet. We need to wait till we see how the Wii U sells through the holidays and 2014 before we can predict the sales of Bayonetta 2.

It's at 215k end of November in US (so you can't imagine it did more than 40k this week in US)

180k in Japan?

That's 450k~ plus Europe/Other. It's nowhere near 800k WW.

I know, I just checked and fixed it lol.

It was a mistake XD.

EDIT: It says that it's sold 710k, and that's in roughly two weeks.

I was thinking about this in the shower this morning.
Bayonetta 2 and X will bomb hard, very very hard.

Minus at least 100k overtracking in the US ;) which puts the other figures into doubt.

Bayo 2 entered the pre-order charts last week so i believe it will do very well (2-3 Million)
X will match Bayo 2 or surpass it because Bayo 2 will have a wider appeal in NA and EU but will fail in Japan while X will have a great presence in NA ,EU and Japan
The Wonderful 101 is fantastic and i really hope that it will get to 1 Million
Mario did well only 70K behind 3D Land which is going to beat Galaxy one, i can see 3D World surpassing both sunshine and Galaxy 2, possible 8M LT sales
Nintendo could sell The Wonderful 101 using bayonetta 1, get TW101 (applies to owners as well) and gain a free Bayo 1 eShop download code

Duuuuuude what?!!!

I'm ready to bet on it

3D World Beating Sunshine

Bayo2 reaching 1.5 -2 seems too high looking at it right now- Million (give or take)

Bayo 2 flopping in Japan

X reaching 2 million

TW101 lifetime exceeding 500K

choose your bet if you want



bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

I don't bet, I'm sure someone else will take you up on those however. X is so niche, to think it's getting anywhere near 1m is too funny!! Go look at how the 3 Rainfall games sold, nowhere near 1m, on a huuge userbase.

Edit - Actually don't, because the VGC numbers are completely off.

it is at 235K in USA which seems right, since NPD doesn't track Toys R Us which should contribute to about 10K and samclub should do 4K so about 229K including digital, VGC might be off on retail but the number is close to the actual Physical + Digital numbers

Do you actually have any solid figures? Just because NPD doesn't track Toys R US and Sams Club doesn't mean it doesn't factor them in, it does. And they actually have a crap tonne of solid data to extrapolate from.

Do we actually have any Xenoblade NPD figures?

Edit - Actually don't, because the VGC numbers are completely off.

Xenoblade would like a word with you... Nearly 1M sold, and yet it would have easily reached 2M...Probably the most sought after game (used copies were 100$ on eBay at some point), so if X gets same amount of critical aclaim it will sell well by itself.

You think Bayo 2 is going to selling more than the first, on the WiiU? :P
