Sorry, Bayonetta 2 will not be a system seller (nor sell more than 1 million).

Pikmin has probably broken 1 million total by now through digital due to the MK8 promotion.

I think it'll push closer to what ZombiU sold, in the 700-800k range, but it won't be a million seller unless it gets really lucky. It's a game people actually want and are hyped for, unlike games like TW101 and DKC:TF, which are games that people didn't want even though they are good games. It should sell some systems to the hardcore players as well, though that number obviously won't be too high.

Yeah the game will flop.

Cannot remember if I have asked you this before. What do you consider a flop?

For a Wii U exclusive game, anything that sells under 1m is a flop.

Please go ahead and post your prediction.

First week combined should do at least 400k. it will easily sell 1m+ and has the potential to cross 2m+ ltd.

You'll be really disappointed, the game has a very low number of pre orders, would be lucky to reach more than 150k FW and 500k LFT

nice try, but bayonetta 2 pre orders far exceed those of the first game, even when you combine the ps3 and 360 versions.

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.

severe underestimation.

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

A lot of people have said. Most of them are permabanned though, take that as you will...

OT: Bayo 2 will be a niche game and was always going to be, 350k first week is insane, I'll be shocked if it manages half that, hell; even one third of that will be impressive.

350k lifetime is a lot more likely than 350k first week.

typical stupidity.

Close to 100,000 Fw alone in Japan. America will hit it hard as well. I would be surprised if fw WW was not 350 thousand plus alone.

Say whaaaaat? No chance.
