So apparently, even before factoring in digital sales, Bay 2's first week of state-side sales have out-done the first week sales of Bayonetta 1's original release, especially after factoring in the difference in install bases during the time of the first game's release and the install base of the Wii U during Bay 2's release.

XBox 360 Bayonetta week 1 sales: 91,668 units.
Install base at that time: 18,305,518 units.

PS3 Bayonetta week 1 sales: 53,049 units.
Install base at that time: 11,400,743 units

Combined install base in the US: 29,346,261 units.

Now, the first 2 days of sales for Bay 2, not including digital sales or Japanese sales, at an estimate based off of the only charts currently tracking it:
190,087 units.

Install base of the Wii U: 7.29M

It's not that 1M we were hoping for right off the bat, but after the Japanese sales got people down, this is still a victory.
I'm hoping it continues to keep selling through the holidays so that it can at least reach the 500K mark.
Call me an optimist.
This is very good news after all of the doom&gloom that this game has unjustly suffered through.

I was only saying the other day how no one is reporting on bayonetta 2 sales so they must be good, if they where bad every gaming site would be all over it.

Why Bayonetta 3 Is a Step Down From Its Predecessor

Many fans have been expressing their disappointment with Bayonetta 3. Here's why the recently released game is a clear step down from Bayonetta 2.

MadLad496d ago (Edited 496d ago )

Yet the Switch is much more powerful than the Wii U - the platform the second game released on. So you're just being negative to be negative with that comment.

anast496d ago

The voice acting wasn't as good...

jBlakeeper496d ago

Bayonetta herself doesn’t even look as good design wise.

-Foxtrot495d ago

I thought they focused on big kaiju like fights which felt gimmicky and thy brought this new character in to try and get away from the leading star

*Spoilers*

I mean they pretty much killed 3 big characters. They killed Jeanne, Luka and Bayonetta herself and it's not the fact they died it's how they died, we've seen Jeanne and Bayonetta survive countless things yet they go out by the lamest ways possible.
