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

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

lol @ all the port egging.

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.

If that game sold 400k why are people expecting bayonetta to do those numbers or even 1 million? :|

I know I have zero plans on buying it.... I only buy first party titles for my Nintendo platfroms.

I'll take my chances and wait for it to go multiplat.

its gonna bomb hard, it won't even sell on 360/ps3, now imagine on a nintendo system, where her moves make her naked. one of the most corniest/shi! characters in video game history.

Around 600k then? With the largest install base last gen and in a less niche genre.

No matter how good it is it will flop hard. Just like Madworld did.

This could hurt Platinum games for years if they were paying for it themselves. Instead Nintendo is throwing money away and P Games is wasting their time.

I think it will do something on the Wii U. It will, however, do nothing on the PC because the PC can't play it. :lol:Drasonak

Well of course not, no other system can play it. That's what an EXCLUSIVE is. I know you hate "neckbeards" but you gotta pick your right time to troll. Rather than just making yourself look like a moron.

Madworld was completely different, it wasn't on multiple systems and then a Wii exclusive for a sequel. 

bayonetta was pretty well received in the gaming world, and P games are a business at the end of the day. They go where the guaranteed money is. 

Then again I feel like I'm replying to a troll

[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

[QUOTE="Pete-B"][QUOTE="DropsofJupiter"] NSMB U has sold 2.1 million copies worldwide. Bayonetta 1 sold around 2 million worldwide. Bayonetta 2 will easily pull a million. Why is everyone assuming the Wii U's userbase is static? Nintendo will have sold more systems by the time this game releases you know.DropsofJupiter

For every day that passes you reach a new low.

Why don't you just stick to gaming and take a break from posting for awhile.

[QUOTE="DropsofJupiter"][QUOTE="Pete-B"] . I can see where they're coming from, bayo was able to pull something around 2mill and that was with a much larger install base(do you remember how much was the combined install base of the 360 and ps3?).Pete-B

Considering how badly third party games sold on the Wii with it's massive user base, I can't see any third party games doing much on the Wii U at this point.JamDev

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

GD1551

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.

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.

will do okay but wont pass one million.

[QUOTE="Pete-B"][QUOTE="DropsofJupiter"] But remember, there were actually more games to buy on Xbox 360 and PS3. Wii U doesn't have a whole lot of choice, does it? :PDropsofJupiter

I hope it does well.

It was a success, it sold more in a month in the US than Japan and Europe did in 10 weeks. And considering the game was exclusive to Gamestop and Nintendo's website it did very well.

Less than the original.

I want to personally get it, because in spite of the WiiU's many less flattering qualities I want to play specific games on the platform(Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, and Bayonetta 2 for starters, and of course Nintendo's other franchises assuming they continue to stay strong). I am however not looking forward to the idea of the system not having a price cut anytime soon.

I think it needs a price cut.

Damn dude, that dodge was something else.

I'm not taking any guesses as to B2's success, but install base and software sales dont always line up the way you would think.  For an extreme example, MGS2 sold 7 million with roughly 10 million PS2s on the market.  MGS3 sold just over 3 million when there were over 100 million PS2s on the market.  

There are plenty of examples just like that.  Maybe Bayo2 will suffer due to a small install base.  Or maybe it will thrive due to a limited library.  No way to tell really.

The only way it well sell well is if they reskin everything with Nintendo stuff.

I don't think it will sell well but I don't care.  This game is one of three reasons why I want a WiiU.  Too bad the system is overpriced.

Change it to "Marionetta" and it will sell millions....

It will flop due to bad control by the controller itself

although the campaign could be fun

sale would be flopfest unless platinum game sneak out with new publisher and re-title it as Bayonetta 2X ... ala Code Veronica X

I think it will sell well but only over time, the fanbase has to get bigger first.

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]

I think it will do poorly. I don't feel that many people who were fans of the first game are rushing out to buy Wii U's just to play it and the people who would normally buy a Nintendo console have not played it since the first one was not on Wii

DropsofJupiter

Poorly

Hopefuly bad enough to be ported/mastered to ps3,360/ps4,720 , i mean it , i wanna play it dammit , i want it so bad.

But eh , my crystal ball tells me it won't do well , if the wii consumer base taste is anything to go by.

Bad... and I think everyone knows why I think that.nintendoboy16

can i take a guess...

""Cuz core gamerz dont appreciate core gamez on my beloved nintendo products, even though they try they are still dat kiddie system in da eyez of  gamerz and will never be taken super serial :cry:""

how'd i do?

Who knows. Maybe by the time the game releases the Wii U will have sold much more units and perhaps there won't be much else still on the Wii U at the time of it's release, depending on when bayo 2 comes out in comparison to other Wii U titles.

I'm a bit skeptical but I won't count out the possibility of it doing decently sales-wise.

But what I was thinking of was the controversy around it the day it was announced.
