Forums - Nintendo - Bayonetta 2 has hit 1 million sales

 

What do you think?

:D 63 24.32%
 
Bayonetta 3 on NX Confirmed 138 53.28%
 
I want to more PG Games in NX 42 16.22%
 
Now Vanquish 2 or TW102 on NX 16 6.18%
 
Total:259

No doubt that the reprint and Bayonetta's inclusion in Smash helped sales.

Can't wait for Bayo 3 (I hope.)



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Is it still a flop?

People say it's overtracked, but nobody says by how much, and VGC hasn't change the numbers. I'm sure it sold a million already, specially counting Digital version as well.

I wouldnt call it a flop. Wouldnt call it a great success either, but the fact that Bayonetta was voted into Smash is a big win. Now every Nintendo fan know who Bayonetta is, so a third game could do really well.

Dunno, depends on budget. Didn't the first one struggle to make any money on both ps360? Id be surprised if this one did on one system with less sales.



I want Bayonetta 3...
I want more PG games...
I want Vanquish 2...

...but not on NX.

Congrats to Bayo2, fav Wii U game. Wish this game hit 1M sooner as it's well deserved pass that mark by now.



Don't really care about Bayo3, but that Jeanne spin off as well as a BayoxDMC would be sweet.

None of them. Both Bayonetta and Vanquish felt like shallow games that PG banged out in a couple of months. They rely a lot on flashiness to hide the gameplay's and story's shortcomings.

I feel like you're one of those people that just hates everything



The Bayonetta IP is as muddled as it gets.  There is no telling how much money Nintendo put into development of Bayonetta 2, so we don't know how much money Nintendo, Sega, or Platinum made or lost.  It's a situation where all three companies would have to sit down and agree to terms.

I'm not a fan of Platinum but it might be worth it for Nintendo to invest just enough in the game to get it made as an exclusive.

If we extrapolate the France data across the rest of Europe,  It's probably at 700k WW minimum IMO.

What really constitutes a 'desperate' need to adjust? Lots titles on here probably get under or overtracked by 100-300K, but none causes as much distress as Bayo 2 methinks.

Nothing else seems to cause as much distress when it's suggested that it's overtracked, either.

As for the rest, 300k overtracked would be pretty darn significant for a game listed at 1M sold.
