Zombie U 680k
DonkyK 570k

Anything on U that is +1m in sales has Mario in it. More mature type games like Assasins and Batman did 250k or less.

Id say anything under yet near 1m is very very overly generous, things are not looking positive.

ZombiU must have done over 1m by now once you take digital sales into account. It's been on sale in the eShop on and off for quite some time now.

I'm not sure we can just assume that. Even if we did, a large chunk of those were probably sold at bargain bin prices, which may (or may not) fall on Ubisoft.

and i was looking it will easily pass 35k for the 360 version

possibly more than ps3 and 360 version combined fw US?

not possibly, definetely, since we just got a release date and the info of the first bayonetta being on the disc. it will have much more pre orders than the predecessor.

my prediction: Easily over 1 million and has the potential to pass 2 million.

bayonetta sold 1.13M on ps3 and 0.89M on 360 which both have userbases far more interested in a violent, over-sexualized game and dramatically larger userbase size. B2 will not break 0.89M. not a fucking chance.

It was a niche game on those systems and a high profile one on Wii U.

This can not be understated. It'll do well for the same reason watch_dogs has done so well.

If this game sells more than 500k I'd be shocked.

No, it's third party exclusive. second party would be a company that nintendo owns but isn't from their internal EAD. monolith is second party, for example.

No they are not. The studio was completely bought out. Monolith is entirely owned by Nintendo, so they are a first party studio. A 2nd party game is whenever the publisher for fully the development of the title and lets the developer make it (White Knight Chronicles, Wonderful 101, Lost Odyssey, etc). A 3rd party exclusive would require the developer and publisher to be completely independent of the platform. That's what 3rd party means.
