How Do You Think Bayonetta 2 Will Do On The WiiU?

[QUOTE="freedomfreak"][QUOTE="timmy00"]

I really don't know. I hope it does well though. :l If I had a Wii-U I'd probably buy it day one.

$400 for two games?

I wish I was rich like you guys 0_o

[QUOTE="DropsofJupiter"]It will sell a million or so copies worldwide. Which is respectable, and in line with the first game.Vatusus

1 million? on the WiiU alone?

I dont even think NSMB U sold a million yet, let alone Bayonetta 2 that barely break one million on 2 platforms with a way bigger install base

NSMBU sold around 2 million.

I expect it will bomb big time.

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"][QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] Your whole argument was stupid. "derp it will happen guys, just watch", I gave you the link, now I will wait and see how far your stupidity will stretch with the proof right in front of you.

timmy00

That sounds possible?

Well, MS also published both NG2 and ME1 and supposedly they could never come to the PS3... guess they were wrong :\

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]Okay you're a moron. NOT RIGHT NOW, stupid. Bread_or_Decide

In terms of likeliness though, it's extremely unlikely.

hum, ok

but still, if a WiiU game would sell, it would be it

I'm sure I can find other games to justify the purchase :P I'm interested in Zombi-U despite the mediocre scores. Scores never stopped me before. Plus a few other games. The Platinum games would be the breaking point though. ;-;timmy00

Weird. Didn't Sega once publish their own titles? Bread_or_Decide

@Vatusus I can't remember what situation Ninja Gaiden 2 was in but I still think it's highly unlikely Bayonetta 2 will be ported. Or at least any time soon. >.>

Nintendo will push it marketing wise, however it depends on how healthy the platform is at the time of release.

It's too early to tell.

They should be able to create a "core" fanbase with Retro's game, Wonderful101, 3D Mario, WW HD and future prospects shown at E3 such as Smash and Xenoblade 2. It has potential to sell.

Well they got a sale from me for the most part.

Overall though it won't be too flattering. The install base is small as of now, but maybe that may change by the time of its release.

Plus I just can't refuse a new game by Kamiya. :oops: Dude is a beast.

The game has an insane attach rate. People who bought Wii U got the game basically :P

I think this is the key indication why Wii U will survive. 1st party software simply sells even though the install base is low: see Gamecube.

Consider this: Wii U already has 2 games that outsold the best selling Vita title (worldwide).

Damn straight. Platinum for life \o/

It's going to bomb spectacularly hard. But damnit, I'll be there to support it anyway.

What's the precedence for this?

Did Xenoblade spectacularly bomb?

We are talking about a Nintendo published title. Every developer in Japan wishes Nintendo backed them up. Of course as I said I think it depends on the platform's health at the time of release.

Then again, Sony was just barely into the gaming market at the time and Final Fantasy VII did wonders for the PlayStation. Who knows...nintendoboy16

Nintendo published Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge too, and I didn't see it lighting up the charts. The Wii U's install base is a far cry from the Wii - combine that with a niche title like Bayonetta and you have a recipe for a bomb.

I think sales wise it's gonna do bad. Being limited to one platform and especially the WiiU is not gonna help. 

Score wise it will do well

It's going to be pretty well received/reviewed with a meta score anywhere i from 85-92%. Unfortunately I don't see it doing very well in terms of sales. Pete-B

Game sales aren't proportional to install base. Prime 3 sold less than Prime 1. Wind Waker outsold Skyward Sword by a good margin. (please don't give me the Wii is casual argument, TP is the second best selling Zelda). 

It's about attracting the userbase that are into those types of games with similar, system selling ones. Retro's core game for example could draw that audience in, who would be in the market for a 3D action game made by Platinum.

You are comparing NG3 with Bayo 2 :P? That game is a stealth release in comparison to what they're gonna do with Bayo 2.

How did Xenoblade do in NA? Also one of the biggest obsticles is Nintendo's audience itself, they are only interested in mario and zelda and will ignore the game.

[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"]Razor's Edge bombed because NG3 sucked. Word of mouth spread and people are refusing to give such a game a second chance. Tecmo Koei picked up the tabs for the PS360 port. The only thing Nintendo bought was a timed exclusive.Slashkice

It bombed before the PS360 ports were announced. Anyways, the point is Nintendo doesn't have the Midas touch as a publisher.

Well, considering there isn't jack or sh!t for games on the wiiu and nothing worth a damn is coming out for who knows how long it might actually have a chance to sell a decent amount of copies. I'd suspect maybe over a million, but I'm continually finding myself being wrong about things of this sort.

I'll be purchasing Bayonetta 2 as #1 is one of the most epic games ever created. Day frigging 'ONE'!!!

The next game to be released by platinum will be a sequel to Vanquish or even Madworld.

So much port begging its unreal... Reminds me of the MH Tri U Topic i created.

Xenoblade did very well despite 2012 release. Officially we can only look at its high position and hold on NPD, but according to VGC it did 400k in NA.

The fact that Nintendo had X as its ace card in the Nintendo Direct Wii U Panic Mode Edition speaks volumes to me. They seem to be very pleased with the sales. 

500k - 1 million worldwide. MercenaryMafia

I would be conservative at this point and say 350k - 800k

If WiiU continues to struggle, not well.

Probably worst after PG announces PS4/720 versions for it.

With all of the free publicity it will get, just fine.

lol @ all the port begging.
