I'm honestly thinking 400k lifetime. But we'll see.

1.5-2.9 million sales is big to me

3 million+ is huge

The will probably never get passed 800k though

I can't believe I'm saying this to you; but you are over-estimating this game. I seriously doubt it'll do 800k.

Well considering lego city sold 760k it would appear people that own wii U will buy games at random if they say nintendo on it. but 800k was my maximum

I couldn't comment on how good Lego City was relative to all the other Lego titles, but those are more suited to the Nintendo demographic than Bayonetta, so if a Lego title does under 800k on the Wii U, it's time to start making estimates for Bayonetta sales a bit more realistic.

800k would be great.

why is everybody thinking they know the wii u demographic? kids want whats popular and thats not the wii u.

i'm pretty sure the most wii u owner have a beard, or could grow one.

Nearly all Wii U owners are in their 20's and are constantly on forums such as these

No, the potential for sales in general. Or do you think that only fans of a series can buy a game in the series?

I don't tink there are 600k Wii U owners clamoring for Bayonetta.

I'm sorry. I meant 1.5m. I think it'll sell 600k. And that's me being generous.

I legitimately wonder how much this could've sold if Sega had funded it themselves and put it on next gen systems.

i think around 1.5million lifetime is fairly reasonable.. It may hit more now that Bayonetta 1 is bundled with it

Hearing that ZombiU sold 700+ in hardware sales, as a launch title, has me more convinced to be honest. But my prediction still is somewhere around 1mil.

I really hope bayo2 will sell a lot, since I loved the first game and definitly want a 3rd instalment. Logic tells me it won't though. It won't probably reach 1mln lifetime.
