Depend... first Bayonetta have sold 2,100,000 lifetime, but the game it has been one flop because on launch have sold poor...

I think that if Bayonetta 2 sell more than 700,000 only in 2014, and lifetime break 1,200,000, P* will be plased.

Well, depending on how much Nintendo fund this game, 1M would be profitable were the previous 2M weren't (possibly reduced cost from assets made before).

For some reason I don't dare to do that, Because I'm not that confident about this prefiction. It'll be enough for me to see what happens in the future.

Bayonetta 2 costed 25,000,000$...

The game cost 60$, and of this 60$ half gains publisher (30$)... 700,000 X 30 = 21,000,000, more the copies sold with price drop, will easy pass 30,000,000... i hope so. XD

If the money was gave by Ninty then Platinum could profit with less.

It's going to sell a system or two so by that it is a system seller. It's a good value considering you get the first Bayonetta for free. Better to hype it up than to flat out ignore it.

tbh, it's refreshing. Anything less than 1 million certainly be a financial failure.

Even then, it wouldn't be a major success.

I wasn't asserting that it would sell 1 million with 500,000 being new Wii U purchasers. I was using those numbers to demonstrate that a game need not be a blockbuster to be a system seller. Hence the "if". Also note that Bayonetta is a lot less like the rest of the Wii U's current lineup than Titanfall or Infamous are to their respective systems. This is especially true of Titanfall, which is most likely to appeal to FPS fans who would already have bought an Xbox One.

I do think it'll reach 1 million. I'd expect the number of people buying the system for the game to be closer to 200,000 than 500,000. But I do expect it to sell some systems.

The difference between wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2, which were developed by the same developer is that Nintendo offered vitually no commercial support for the game other than publishing it. They obviously learned there lesson but also see the value in getting bayonetta 2 out their. Press has been wide and popular on the game, with nintendo showing it off in most gaming conventions, including a huge showing at e3. TV and internet advirtisments will no doubtedly start soon as well. While I do not believe it will have nearly the impact Mario Kart 8 did, I think it will give a good boost as well as help give good publicity to the Wii u

If Nintendo starts marketing the hell out of it closer to its release, then yes, Bayo 2 will sell at least decently, and should move some systems. If anyone remembers Lollipop Chainsaw (game from Suda51), the only reason it sold ~1mil units and came to be Suda51's most successful game in terms of sales was because Warner Bros. gave it a good marketing push. I imagine if Nintendo's marketing arms actually did their jobs, Bayo 2's sales could easily pass 1mil. Maybe even move a good amount of systems too.
