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.

can I ask why this game is overtracker? are you talking about a rumour without actual facts? or real facts. I really want to know. 590,000 is not that big, so I don't know why this game would be overtracked.

It's not a rumor. It's NPD data which even Nintendo uses as actual data.

October:
VGC: 149k
NPD: 68k

November:
VGC: 57k (LTD: 206k)
NPD: 27k (LTD: 95k)

206k - 95k = 111k

 

I don't know if it means December will be overtracked as well or if it's also overtracked in Europe (less likely).

When you unlock the police customes they look disappointing :(



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
2. http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Global&ending=Weekly&game%5B%5D=Bayonetta+2+%28WiiU%29+%5B70956%5D&game%5B%5D=&game%5B%5D=&game%5B%5D=

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...

 holidays sales or not, those are sales. 

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

I see the "this game is going to fail" trend a lot here, even when the game is not selling that bad compared to other exclusives in other platforms.

It's not doing horribly but not that well either. It did <100k in its launch month in the US iirc and surely lower than that in Europe. In Japan it has only managed ~60k


yeah but look at DK, was a "flop" and now 960,000 in less than a year, possibly 1 million with digital sales. what I mean is, a game doesn't  need huge sales in the first two months to not be a flop. wonderful 101, now that's a flop because that game has 0 legs.

first a neogaf rumour and now actual facts, hopefully someday I'll see the documents.

I beg to differ on this one. W101's 2014 sales were more than its 2013 sales. Now that's not saying either year was spectacular, but saying it has 0 legs is a bit misguided.

Didn't these numbers came from a NeoGAF user (correct if I'm wrong)?

Most likely overtracked but Bayonetta does have nice legs :D

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

Pretty sure Sega would prefer to hold onto it.

Yes they came from a NeoGAF user who's source is subscribed to NPD but that's still 100% more accurate than VGC.
