i like how people are reveling in the fact that it flopped wishful that nintendo can port the game to other systems. LOL

Well I'm just reveling in it because some fans were quite smug about it. I don't want to see it doing bad. But obviously Platinum decided that it didn't matter to them that the game sells copies.

So if they don't want it to be successful, we should be supportive of their wishes.

I'm going to be smug when I get to play this sexy beast next month

@bold: well, i don't think thats true. Remember Nintendo financed this, they are responsible for the marketing and essentially will take the financial hit, shielding platinum from damage. Platinum Games got paid to make the game and judging from impressions/reviews, Platinum did make an awesome game and nintendo did pour alot of resources for the studio to use to make the game. An effort was made here.

It's just that only 39k gamers wanted to buy the game, and that's how the cookie crumbles

Even then we're talking lifetime here. It might take some years, but 300k for Wonderful 101 is certainly possible. Even if the game is sold for $5.

Why would any retailer order new copies of the game in the past 6 months? I would be shocked if it did any more than sell out of what's left.

Well how many did they ship?

I don't really approve of Beyonetta on Wii U as exclusive because according to the data, all that has happened is that the majority of the fanbase has been separated from the series. Games should follow the audience IMO. Games shouldn't be used as ransom to make you buy into a product. This happens in all sorts of industries though. Its like 75% of their audience just vanished. They are going to need every penny the sold the series for.

Just like when Sony snatched Final Fantasy 7 from Nintendo back in 97? Or when Nintendo snatched Monster Hunter from PSP? If the franchise is strong enough, the fanbase will follow. Bayonetta was just not nearly strong enough to do much of anything, atleast in Japan. 

More like if the platform is strong enough the fanbase will follow. Most people don't buy a system for 1 game.

We might not need to if we had something like IP bans, just saying ;)

Ouch. 60-70k lifetime in Japan? Heck; the 360 version of Bayonetta sold 64k first week in Japan and the PS3 version 138.


Nah it'll make it to 200k in Japan -- likely due to strong word of mouth and strong legs of the high review scores along with Ninty's promotion and marketing of the game.

You're joking right?
