I think it will push hardware forward somewhat. A boost during the week of its release and will contribute toward future sales when other flagship titles are released. Having said that it won't revive MK8 momentum and Wii U will still suffer continual decline until november.

Saleswise I would say 600k. I think the Wii U's audience will be a bit concious of it because the lack of AAA titles and it may very well end up the highest rated game of the year.

A think it will sell between what pro-MS/Sony fans say and what pro-Nintendo fans say! :D In case of doubt always go for the middle. ;)

Now seriously, I'm not expecting it to sell tons of sw/hw, but to be a decent seller. More than that I'm expecting it to be an excellent addition to the WiiU library and one of the best games of 2014.

I'd rather have a critical success and a not so good seller, than have a critical failure and be a great seller because of hype alone (Watch Dogs and Destiny, I'm looking at you).

Yeah, nothing new here. I don't think many people expect Bayo 2 to do amazing sale wise (even if it would deserve it imo).

I would guess between 700-900k lifetime.

I think this game will trend very close to DKC: Tropical Freeze, lots of fans love it but sales are not going to be huge.

If we align launches, maybe FW of around 230k (30k for Japan, 110k for America, 90k for Europe), then it will move steady for a few weeks till the next big game hits (Smash), will be helped a bit by the holiday season and then finally it will crawl to 800k LTD.

That said, I am 100% behind #OperationPlatinum because I think the effort and commitment of the developer should be rewarded, and I hope that it reaches 1 million units sold.

Why did this guy 'finalrays' get banned?  I like his fieriness.   

Alt account.

350k first week? I highly doubt that.

yes they have, but to be fair the people who have been saying that has left some time ago. finalrays notwithstanding but either its an alt or a new guy who is banned and i imagine when he/she is wrong they'll disappear too.

Ummmm..... I don't think I've EVER seen anyone say that Bayo 2 will be a system-seller! :/

lets say it could come close to a mil lifetime. How much of those sales will have come from bargain bin?
