Yesterday Nintendo of France released some interesting numbers about their systems/games. One of them have caught my attention: Bayonetta 2, which sold around 60k there.

According to VGC, the game sold only 21,650 units in France (82,289 for the whole Europe). That's a 3:1 difference, so it's very safe to assume that VGC is also undertracking the game's numbers in europe.

Any guesses for the real total numbers for Europe?

The game is still greatly overtracked in Europe.

60k for France, I'd say Germany should be close to that, maybe an estra 15k-20k for the UK and 10k or so for the rest of Europe where WiiU is a lost cause.

So maybe 150k for Europe, I'd say chartz is more or less right in global figures.

60K shipped, before anyone else.

Not that I don't believe it, but where are Bayonetta 2 sales specifically mentioned in that article?

No offense, but that is not heavily. It is very small numbers and thus % wise it is harder to track. But raw numbers it is pretty close. I think Bayonetta 2 did ok in Germany, France and UK. But they probably had little presence in the rest of Europe.

I think 120k-150k max for Europe.

Since 60k is the sell-in figure, it seems more likely they've just shipped loads of units for the holidays which explains the disparity. Also that figure probably includes digital distribution. Doubt Vgchartz has its retail estimates under-tracked that much.
