bayo 2 is a flop period. this franchise is probably dead. move on jeez

To be fair if Nintendo hadn't helped the game would have never released and Bayonetta wouldn't have been a franchise to begin with. I wonder how much Nintendo payed though, i think this one will have cost them money in the end.

Are any of those games selling 1/8th to 1/19th of its first week sequels to established IPs in Japan? Because you are completely ignoring this essential fact. I'd like to know.

It doesn't matter. You put no such restrictions on your claim. You didn't say "biggest flops in recent memory for a sequel to an established IP", you just said "one of the biggest flops".

Even if you restrict it to established IPs, you still have Dragon Ball and Gundam, both popular properties, performing worse.


I didn't have to say "for a sequel to an established IP" because that is an essential fact that such claim could not be made without, and obviously anyone who is into chart analysis (aka everybody on this website) should take such things into consideration. The fact that you think it doesn't matter whether a game is an established IP or not tells me so much honestly.

I'm surprised you brought Gundam Breaker and Dragon Ball up... Both Gundam Breaker and Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z are available on PS3. They are multiplatform titles that, when you combine sales of both versions, do not look like flops anymore. I can't believe I even have to explain this to you, but you can't provide the sales of one version and use it as an example to your argument.

I think I'm done with this discussion. You are providing me with WRONG information to prove whatever point you are trying to make. I'm here for chart analysis not whatever this is. Moreover, I don't think you have any substantial argument to argue here as evident by your neglect of simple facts and presentation of false information. Have a nice day.

What false information? I provided links to the first week sales of all the games I talked about.

You seem to be jumping to the conclusion that I am arguing the sales are strong. I'm not. I simply take issue with your hyperbole when you say "one of the biggest flops in recent memory".



i m fed up with those who call it a flop or with those who make excuses!ok, it sold far better than w101, it proves that will have x3,4,5... lt in japan ,but first week of bayo isnt so good.As for those who call it a flop, wait for the western release,see if it also wont do well there, then call it a flop!calling it a flop now,is premature and using japan sales as an indication...for god's sake!

Donkey Kong Country Returns to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The original sold over a million units in Japan last time I checked. DKC:TF has barely broken 100k thus far and had an opening week even worse than Bayonetta 2's (36k opposed to Bayo 2's 39k, initial shipment sell-through was ~35% opposed to Bayo 2's ~67%).

I'm not going to say that Bayo 2's sales aren't horrible, but they're not nearly as bad as they could have been.

As long as it sold more than 1 copy that would be true though...

So literal

However, despite my wording, the point still stands that there are indeed worse flops out there, and calling Bayo 2 the worst flop in recent memory is total hyperbole.

That says more about how poorly W101 did than anything.


This is just depressing. True, but depressing.

 

Dont worry, its a game selling on word of mouth.

And it can sell for a few years more.
