Forums - Sales - How well do you think X/Bayonetta 2/Hyrule warriors will sell?

Any of these titles will be lucky to push past 500k.

I'm interested to see how Nintendo advertises Hyrule Warriors in the west. If they smudge the truth a bit and present this as a new Zelda game--as opposed to a reskinned Warriors game--then they might find some nice short-term success with it. Of course, they might also damage the Zeldra brand that way, which Nintendo is usually careful about.

I think they will all sell well. Hyrule Warriors: 500k - 1mil. B2: 750k - 1.2 mil. X: 1 - 2.4million.

X will sell better than Xenoblade because word of mouth has turned Xeno into a cult favorite. If Nintendo pushes it as a AAA system seller, it will do very well....but I have low faith that they will market it properly.



900 for all 3 combined

Finally, Nintendo releasing new IP's. What kind of genre is this Zeldra? Hopefully is like Zelda, a godly franchise.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


X might cross 200k but the Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors will sell below 100k

I'm curious about those thinking Bayonetta 2 has a chance of selling a million or more, how will this happen? The first one barely clawed its way past the million mark on the PS3. Sure, it's an exclusive, but I just don't see a very big audience for it on the Wii U. Look at ZombiU with extensive bundling and good marketing; it has yet to reach 700k lifetime.

That's the thing; predictions should never be based on such metrics. I the question were; "How much do hope game x will sell." that would have been fine, but I seriously doubt that these people honestly think that a game like Bayonetta 2 will sell over a million.



Ltd:
Hyrule Warriors: 850k
Bayonetta 2: 150k
X: 350k



Take the sales of Bayonnetta on PS3 and multiply that number by 1/4 and that is what I think it will sell. It was never a hit being sold on 2 consoles.Plus, it is pretty well established most non-Nintendo games sell poorly on Wii U.
