Overall a boring week, but Monster Hunter World sales and Nintendo Switch software legs are still very impressive
Seems like Secret Of Mana performed fine?

Secret of Mana at 53.989 total. That's pretty good actually. Much closer to I am Setsuna than Lost Sphear.
Ouch. But if we combine the SKUs, Bayonetta would be in the top 10.
Switch may pull ahead of PS4 next week if its HW stay stable and PS4 continues to drop, but Hokuto no Ken (March 8th) should push the PS4 on top at least for that week, then Kirby will switch positions once again.
HW numbers will be interesting to see for the next few weeks.

Seems like a decent debut, but isn't word of mouth supposedly weak over there? Could a huge drop happen? Who knows :P
I mean, good sales yeah, but both dropped quite heavy compared to last week... I expected better imo.
It is still gonna beat the Wii U version. Every port had a worse opening, then better lifetime sales, this will be the case as well.
Seiken 2 did better than what i was expecting. Bayonetta did worse but maybe it will have legs. Big drop for Dynasty Warriors and SAO but MHW keeps selling well.
Surprised the Climax Edition outsold the regular one.
Hopefully they'll ship more
Hopefully they'll ship more
cause I want a copy
Do we know Bayonetta 2 Wii U sales? <1 million or >1 million ?
I assume the 11K climax editions doesn't include the nintendo store?
I think they should have printed more, that thing was hard to get. Glad I preordered when it was first announced.

Famitsu numbers :
[WIU] Bayonetta 2 {20/09/2014} : 33.114 / 51.361
Low numbers overall but it might outsell it at the end thanks to digital (cheaper way to get Bayo1&2) and hopefully some legs.

What are our expectations for Kirby by the way? Would 200k first week be reasonable? Could it hit the sales of Triple Deluxe possibly?
Personally I think Nintendo over-expected on Bayo. "We'll be able to give the title to more people!" Is all they seemed to think. Rather than "Should we be charging the same price as we did 2 years ago for this?". There wasn't even big enough new features to try and pass off for a full price once again.
While this is just Japan (and apparently the UK at least retail wise. Might've made it up digitally). I'm curious where it'll end up in the US. I'm expecting a similar trend for the game there as well. If they're doing W101, I pray they either lower the price or include a lot of new content. That game will fare even worse as just a straight port at full price.

Yeah I agree with this. The reason why Pokken and Mario Kart did so well was because they are good games with a substantial amount of new content. I'm worried for DK and Hyrule Warriors.

Bayonetta Switch most likely outsold Bayo Wii U in UK when you factor in digital, and i have to imagine that it will be a trend repeated in many western countries.
I agree that the price point was completely wrong though.
Whoops let me fix that. I was looking at the wrong thing when I said that.
Ok, I made the point that perhaps the digital sales covered it.
Yeah, this is Bayo's 4th release (HD Twins, Wii U, PC, and now Switch) and would've been nice to see Bayo 2 do a bit better but I'm not really too down on these numbers despite them being a bit low. This is all build up for Bayo 3.
That said, they should've been priced a bit better.
The calm before the storm...

I don't think they actually can release retail games like that at 40 dollars, the cartridges are too expensive. This situation is kind of awful.
You should use MC numbers since they are until December 2016. Bayonetta 2 had some legs in 2015 and 2016. I think Famitsu numbers are old.
Well a bit premature to say this considering it's only been one week...
Nah, it will perform much better in the US. The OG game on WiiU was already a bust - just porting it to Switch for the same price wont automatically make it sell like more popular titles.
Reminder that in Japan you didn't get Bayo 1 with a physical copy of Bayo2. Thus, the cheaper way to get both games is via the eshop. Digital sales will be interesting.
>37,500
>43,027
>47,107
>49,164
>43,404
>39,303
seems pretty stable to me since no significant release for more than a month or 2
No idea what that game is, but why should we expect the PS4 to get a bump from it. No single software other than mhw and dq has moved Ps4 hardware significantly. Don't think this is a game to do it
Still, my case is more that with the move to switch and the speed of console sales.
You'd think the game would be faring far better all-around regardless of region.

Yep. Wouldn't surprise me if lifetime sales meet or exceed the Wii U game based almost solely on US performance. And even if it doesn't, it's still a good set of titles to have on the platform and Nintendo is likely netting a nice return on investment from the game at this point.

Our very own zhugex pointed out that switch sales were very slightly under wii u sales and that when you factor in stronger switch eshop, it likely outsold the Wii U version.
Switch will need a miracle to compete against NDS (which is the system Nintendo should be really chasing in Japan, when you consider they only have one system to cater for), alas I don't see anything promising on the horizon.
Nintendo really fucked this release up. What the hell were they thinking?
If Bayonetta 2 standard edition and Bayonetta 2 Non-Stop Climax Edition were combined, the game would be at #5 at 21.226 copies.
It's an abomination that the Non-Stop Climax Edition sold more than the regular edition. It clearly shows where demand is. Shame on you, Nintendo. Now produce more of those fuckers.

wait for Infinite Climax Edition Triple Pack release when Bayo 3 release in 2020 o3o
Yeah, but it might leg it out though. I'm curious how it's doing in the US.
And, random anecdote, but I noticed damn near my entire Switch friends list was playing one of the Bayos last night.
PS4 will need a miracle to compete against PS2 (which is the system Sony should be really chasing in Japan, when you consider they only have one system to cater for), alas I don't see anything promising on the horizon.
