Forums - Nintendo - When will Bayonetta 2 hit a million? Weighing the risk vs the reward.

I want predictions and discussion. If they cannot and Ninendo continues to invest in Platinum to create some illusion that these games sell on their platform (when its their fault that third party doesn't let alone third party hack n slash games) Its going to cause slight bleeding on their budget. The game launched in Japan in September and October in the rest of the world. The reason this worries me is because if they are willing to do this to create the perception that these games can survive on their console, then what tells them that this wont happen again with Platinum or any other third party let alone niche developer? If this was the Playstation 2 era with these sales I would breathe easier...but this is 2014. 

The Devils Third is next to take the dive for Nintendo. Platinum already had a game that didnt sell quite well on the WIi U. When will the risk become properly calculated risk?

Its been two months so predictions on legs would be helptful based on Nintendos history.

So what was the question again?



I don't think it will :I



The OP of a thread is supposed to be an expansion of the title to further explain what the discussion is about, not another thing entirely.

When do you think the game will hit a million? Predictions are welcome. I move that Nintendo bundles this game in the summer if it cannot make it past the first quarter and at least reach 600k.

THIS^

 



How many units has the game even sold as of now? Is it up to half or more?



What question is the focus? Is a question even the focus?

It was an explaination. Sorry it wasnt as clear as it could've been, but I want some broad discussion on how Nintendo can fix this before they continue to take risks. I also want predictions for how long they can go on. For instance....perhaps Nintendo should bundle Bayonetta if they want to further invest in a seasonal manner. Do you think it can reach a million? If so...how long should it take?



Don't expect it to happen.
