Circa 60k on 360 and 120k on ps3. So this is a tad disappointing but not a complete bomba.

Bayonetta 2 did a bit better than i thought as well after seeing the Tatsuya rankings.

Movie pre-order tickets are also currently at 660k. Absolutely insane.

Bombanetta.
It actually wouldnt surprise me if it passed the 360 LTD in Japan, can see it being a slow burner because of the quality.

Ooof!
That's hard to swallow when the 360 version did quite a bit better and there was a PS3 version too.
Regardless those numbers are bad. Many expecting worse numbers do not make these by any stretch decent or good.I'm... okay with this.
Felt like it was a surefire 20k.
It's already outsold W101 in Japan. Now that's really sad.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Positive reception of Smash Bros and a bigger advertising campaign comparatively to other Nintendo first-party titles (except Pokemon)?

Of course it's a bomba, it's a platinum game. Their games aren't exactly the best selling titles out there.

does Japan also get Bayo1 as a pack-in? Because that just makes these small number seem even smaller.
I'd like to see how quickly Nintendo act in getting rid of the OG 3DS/Old 3DS XLs once the n3DS/n3DS XLs hit...
Alright, you can give the keyboard back to duckroll, whoever you are.

Bayonetta 2 will sell much better in the west. Japanese gamers don't buy console games unless it's Final fantasy or Metal Gear.
I think it's the opposite. They seem to be able to get first parties to fund pretty ambitious titles with original ideas even when the market is cratering for such titles with little hope for the publisher to recoup the cost. They still get paid, the games still get made. Of course the concern now is what it means in the future.

Bombanetta more than expected.

Well, 38K, that's actually close to decent but not quite.

I guess Japanese men aren't into older women or women at all for that matter. *looks at Vita's top sellers* <_<
Agreed.
Playstation 4 dropped like a rock after the white PS4 effect.
More concerning is the PSV performance it´s far below expectations from just a few months ago, but in line with the decline it showed the past few weeks. Starting mid October its year on year advantage will start to melt.

It's not even in the realm of decent.
Just because it exceeded our ridiculously low expectations doesn't make Bayo 2 not a bomba
Unfortunately this.
Ha? Bayonetta barely reached 1 million worldwide LTD on both PS3 and 360. How will it get to 500,000 by the end of the year on the current wost selling system?

Bayonetta 2 did better than I expected, but I doubt anyone is happy with the performance here. Based on Famitsu's sell-through estimate it looks like Nintendo managed to ship about 60k? I guess eventually it'll manage to sell as much as the original did in the first week on the 360.
is the action genre dead, or is it the art style, probably a bit of both.

I´m impressed by the somewhat solid 3DS numbers.
43k despite the approaching n3DS launch is not too shabby.
Too bad for Bayonetta. I hope she can use her long legs.

Neither. It's the WiiU which is dead right now. It would probably do fine on the PS3 if it came out right now. PS4... more debatable.

Wonder how big the budget was for it.
Someone hacked duckroll's account.

Well, I think most people would have been really pleasantly surprised if it was around 50K tbh.
It's not like W101 anyway

The Wii U is dead.
I don't it was anywhere in the realm of possibility it could possibly sell 101 numbers. The only question was would it surpass 101 LTD first week.

I hope Bayonetta 2 keeps selling with good word of mouth, i know this doesnt mean much, but the game was going to bomb unfortunately, with all the competition, being a niche game on a niche console, this is expected, Nintendo supported it well imo, bundling the original, TV ads, showing it at all their presentations, making a Direct, even funding it was a risk.
Even if they could do better with the Marketing, there is only so much they can do on WII U, a AAA campaign, for example, wouldnt make much sense.

A Christmas miracle. And France. I don't know. What's the point of making an easy prediction?
