Nah. I think it's done unfortunately.
I enjoy the game enough, but it's such a small niche.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Still performing better than expected, considering Bayonetta sales on the 360/PS3 with a combined 160+ million install base.

Good point.

Source?

NPD. At the end of March the game was at 157k in the US. Here's the march NPD thread:

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=201448

Unfortunately, that's not quite how it works. NPD doesn't release that sort of information publicly, so you can't just claim them to be the source because Boutros posted it in his NPD thread.

The actual "source" is someone in the NeoGAF NPD thread, which can now only be viewed if you have an account (I don't), and which is just taken as fact without any further checking.

It was only a matter of time until someone had to say it wasn't it? If you go through the thread you'll find that creamsugar gave that number I'm pretty sure, creamsugar has been leaking NPD numbers for ages and they are only ever doubted if someone doesn't like them.

creamsugar is a known leaker with access to insider information. And as DerNebel said: he's been leaking NPD numbers for ages. If he posted fake NPD numbers, he'd be permabanned, as it's against NeoGAF's rules. The numbers are real.

No. The game is overtracked and doesnt have legs.

Maybe if Nintendo done that free game promotion again, and bayonetta 2 is one of its choices then maybe.

Actually, I CAN'T go through the thread - it's blocked to non-members, now. So I couldn't possibly know who it was.

If it was "creamsugar", then I'll just ask this - this person has been "leaking" the numbers... and in what way have the leaks been proven accurate? It's not enough to assert that they're right because they've been "leaking" the numbers "for ages". I don't know whether the person is actually trustworthy, because while I sometimes look at NeoGAF because they tend to catch news quicker than others, I don't just trust the claims made by people on NeoGAF, without extra information.

This doesn't mean I doubt the numbers. I have no position whatsoever on the numbers being claimed - but it is not logical to conclude they're right because they've been giving numbers for a long time. And more importantly, quoting the VGChartz thread for the NPD numbers, which provides NO sources for the numbers, doesn't count as sourcing the numbers, any more than quoting a random, unsourced Wikipedia article counts as a "source". That was what I was challenging.

Sure, why not, who knows what the future holds.
