I don't see these thread titles anymore, so I decided to bring it back.
In any case, Bayo 2 seems to have sold about half a million from the VGC database, which isn't really that good for a title that had Nintendo's backing. It doesn't even appear as though Bayo 2 will even hit a million lifetime.
We already know Wii U has a small install base and Bayo 2 is a niche game. So let's focus on some other aspects:
What does this mean about the future of Bayonetta? Does this title prove the age old assumption of many people that Nintendo consoles will only sell old school Nintendo games such as Mario and Zelda? Can we still blame 3rd parties for not bringing mature games to Wii U when Nintendo themselves couldn't sell Bayo 2, a very mature title to their audience? Should Nintendo just focus on making more old school games and give up on a new mature venture?
Let's discuss.
