what?, it sold 39k which is 67.2% of the shipment!, the TOTAL units shipped was 58k

I edited my post. I meant to say that the sellthrough was mediorce. You want more for this type of game.

67% is not good for Japan... launch games usually sells more there.

That means Nintendo / Platinum expected a bit more sales.

Isn't this like, more than Infamous:SS ? Despite the PS4 Hype...

Not good. I think Hyrule Warriors sold a similar percentage of its shipment.

Same.

ISS sold 39,757 in debut week in Japan... the difference is PS4 have half of the consoles sold there.

I will try to find the first week shipment.

Edit - Famistu reported ISS sold 60-80% of it initial shipment... they didn't give the right number.

Two days, and no game ever has a full week of sales for its first week, most have 3 or 4 days so B2 got less time than most but it's not a sign of significant potential. The implication that it did well because of only 2 days, and it will do considerably better the following week is very misleading. Having said that, some Wii U games have started similar and legged it out to 100K or so, but those have been established Nintendo franchises like LoZ WWHD and DKC:TF.

O_o Relevance? Was there Infamous hype in Japan? If there was it's because there was nohting better to try to hype. Infamous was never a hypable game in Japan.

Infamous sold 120K in Japan, Infamous 2 sold 80K in Japan. Bayonetta sold over 200K in Japan on PS3 alone.

You beat me to it. I was wondering the saem thing....like it has no relevance what so ever lol.

Nintendo needs to add Bayonetta to smash as long as Bayonetta2 is still a fresh game. When smashers see how Bayonetta plays they might have interest in the Bayonetta game.


Would be free marketing.
