I doubt it with Bayonetta 2, but Tropical Freeze will make it.

Sure they deserve more, but the 1 million mark is an important one when your install base is not even at 10 million.


I know. Im just bitter that a certain 2D platformer can sell millions while the superior one doesnt...


Yeah, sometimes i just seems unfair. Don't you happen to be a billionaire? You could buy all copies online and in stores to fake huge demand! Bayo 3 saved!

Well if I was I could just fund Bayonetta 3. Would be easier I think

True, but how much more awesome would it be to see Bayonetta enter the top 5 best selling Wii U titles! 3rd party support saved!



Why are a lot of people speaking about these games as if they just totally stopped selling yesterday and the numbers that are there now are the final numbers and this is it? Bayonetta 2 is selling pretty much exactly on par with any single version of Bayonetta 1 :-| .

Well you would expect a sequel to sell better I guess...

This concept of flop is very wide isnt it?

Nintendo games dont have millions spent in advertisement. They dont need millions in sales to break even.

Bayonetta 2 is actually selling well, its showing pretty good legs with a 20k line in the US and 10k in europe. Its going to sell as well as the original did in a single console with a much smaller userbase. The only thing is see flopping is the claim that its not doing well.



It should be coming to the PS4 in a matter of years.

There's nothing to talk about. No one should have though that the game would have ended up selling well. The first one, which was a multiple, didn't. It's an unpopular franchise exclusive to a less popular platform. That's all this is. It's honestly impressive it even reached over half a million with everything it had against it.

I highly doubt these weekly numbers in the US at least are correct, at the end of November Bayonetta 2 had only sold about 90k in the US according to NPD numbers, don't know why those numbers aren't adjusted.

Bayonetta 2 has not sold 250k in the US, not even close.

Doubt it. Not even because of Nintendo. I just think it won't be "next gen" enough to make the jump. The HD remakes of these types of games will have mostly stopped by that time.
