It's not bad, I just wanted it to do really good.

In a perfect world a game like this sells hundreds of thousand copies. It is one of my most anticipated games and I am pretty confident it will be released in the West. Fatal Frame has never been a big seller in Japan but that hasn't stopped it from being localized in the past (with the exception of IV).

and the Wii ports of the first two...

Well I have the PAL version of Fatal Frame 2: Wii Edition on my shelf ;)

well Fatal Frame did disappoint a little after seing the COMG numbers. Still okay for the franchise though.
Also it did help selling more WiiUs than Bayonetta 2 did.

On Bayonetta's 2nd week drop. Expected (somewhat at least). The first day is always doing better than the immediately following ones.
Day 1 easily beat day 2 and Day 2 probably beat the whole week that is shown in the OP.

The reason why the FF numbers are disappointing is because this one has a movie, a manga and a Novel released along with it afaik..with that kind of promotion this is not a good number

Edit. Double post.

But, I may ask, can someone link those comments defending Bayonetta's poor FW?

Most defence was anchored around the fact that there were only two days worth of sales (which a lot of people incorrectly interpreted as one day's worth of sales).

Here are some:

And these two are particularly good:

Irrelevant. You had to homebrew/mod in order to make the Wii region-free.

Obvsly, murica > yurop, so yurop dun count
