For a niche game on a niche console this is very impressive. I hope Nintendo at least offers to buy the IP from Platinum.


it's owned by sega :)

Platinum doesnt own the IP. Sega does...



*Waiting for the "100k over tracked in the U.S." comments*

And yet people are still laying down the "flop" card just because It is not a one-million seller. Remember guys, numbers don't really matter as long as there is PROFIT.


Bayonetta 2 doesn't look like it was especially cheap to make, plus they went through the effort of porting Bayo 1.  It's possible Nintendo got a bargain because some of the work was done with Sega's money or something, but unless there was a unique situation going on, it's hard to imagine that kind of game pulling a decent profit without hitting a million or so.

Of course! Just look at them!

The main focus of this picture isn't the legs... :P

Some guys, including myself, would insist that the game is massively overtracked in the United States, while it is slightly undertracked in Europe. Of course, I would remark that the United States were never confirmed, so perhaps we'll never get information about sales ever again.

I just want to say that I want the best sales possible for this game because, number one, is damn good, and number two, I want a third part; but being a bit informed doesn't hurt anyone.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

1. It's called the holidays

It didn't sell "100-150k in 7-10 days". It sold 50k this week and 50k the week before. Something tells me this is too high though...

Of course. It will drop massively after the holidays so temper your expectations.

I think it's still overtracked in USA, and that could also mean it's overtracked in most of Europe.

I wish we could just get some official numbers by Nintendo/NPD/PG. I expect next NPD to show LTD numbers.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
