Bayonetta 2 won't come close to the sales of the 360 version alone. It won't even have half the sales of Bayonetta 1. Doesnt that say something? 

what? even with usa overtrack that still puts it at around 400k so already nearly half of what 360 sold

Yes and that would put it behind the 360 version with launches aligned. A console with less than 10m sold and likely 15m lifetime sales in the end won't show strong legs for such niche titles. Bayonetta 2 isn't a Mario game.

Do you really think that Nintendo believed this game was going to sell 5 millions or something when the first sold 2 millions on 5 years with 160m userbase? Because a game is a flop when sells less than expected, and is selling almost the same as Bayonetta 1 on 360 with 10% of the userbase! So it can not be a flop, and can sell on the 12 months of 2015 the same than on the 3 months on 2014 or even more.

The game didnt need to sell 5 million copies. The only hack n slash which has any hope of doing that exclusively to one platform is God of War. Yes....technically it is a flop; however, it is a success for Nintendo because it met the ends of creating a more diverse library. For  LTD, I expect this game to sell a 850k-1M. That would make it have better legs on the Wii U than the Xbox 360 did. See....looking at things in retrospect, if the Wii was technologically on par with the PS3 and 360 (with the Wii U is finally), the game would've profited the first time.  

Its interesting
