700k at best. 400k at worst.

Why are pretty surprised that it will surpass 500k? I thought most predictions were 800k-1.2 million.

Hardcore gamers have now clearly demonstrated that not even GotY material is going to sway them into buying a Nintendo console. Which means that they have absolutely no ground to stand on when they make demands that Nintendo should cater to them.

This is the lesson to take away from Bayonetta 2 sales.

 

Yes, sir!


Dont want to raid in the parade, but if the game sold as much as the first one sold on the 360 or the PS3 (and it did get pretty good reviews aswell)... does that mean hardcore gamers didnt care about the 360 and PS3 aswell?

I clap at that logic instead. :P

Bayo 1 was a dark horse. Bayo2 is a sequel to a slasher of generation. If this can't help 'hardcore gamers' to make decision - nothing will.

It's done great. Within its first week, it has beat many of the lifetime predictions people have made on this site.

I think it will leg out thanks to Ninty's great backing of the title, the high metacritic score, the value of the overall package, and because WiiU owners don't have many other options.

I promise you that when the next WiiU drought hits, many will remind you to play Bayo 2.

It's not though. Dropped out of the Japan charts rapidly, and is out of top 40 UK after 2 weeks.

Still #1 on the eShop charts in NA. Pretty sure some other users can confirm it's doing well in the eShop internationally too.

It has sold through first shipment very quickly, even in Europe. Many would tell you that the first print special edition very quickly became extremely hard to find. And while it may have dropped off in the UK, elsewhere where it is in stock it is still charting. 

Ninty is still marketing the title in the west. Not sure if they tried nearly as hard in Japan though.

Seece, since you live in the UK, go to GAME and send us pic of a huge stack of unsold Bayo 2 copies if you see that. I have a good feeling you won't.

Because they never would have got a huge stack in the first place. Game is outside top 40 UK, you said yourself it's not doing well here.

It's always funny how these things have legs in countries that are not tracked independly of VGC isn't it?

Yes, Playstation family sales in Others on VGChartz are ridiculous...

The fact here though, is that sales on a single platform grew. Its difficult to expect the Wii U to match PS3 + 360 sales on a title. The difference in installed base is massive. I would say the Nintendo hardcores definitly embraced this title. More than PS3 or 360 owners did the first game.

I agree that there was a warm reception to Bayo 2, but how can you determine this?

That is based on the sales numbers on the OP. I mean them separatly of course. Bayo 2 sold alot more only on Wii U than the original did only on the PS3 or only on the 360.

So it's undershipped. And if you can't find it, it's already sold out. Another shipment should mean more sales. Clearly if something sells out it's first weekend, there should be still *some* market for it yet several weeks out.
