Oscar, how many copies did Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 sell in NA? You have to at least tell us if it ends up outselling Bayonetta 2.

[Joe Molotov]

That's fine too, it makes me feel like I'm part of an exclusive club. 

[Purple Filth]

*sees bayo 2 numbers*

i really hope no one was expecting otherwise

[Howard Alan Treesong]

NA, first month? 18k.

[Damian79]

Eh i am expecting it to sell 500k in the end.  So i think it will sell 150k.

[Damian79]

In the end Bayo 1 sold 2 million and ~900-1m  in the US.  I am expecting a quarter of the total sales of Bayo 1.  That isnt reasonable?

"How much will Bayo2 sell in the first Month in the US?"
"50k"
"30k"
"18k"
"150k!!"
"Shut up Squiddy!"

It wasn't until King of the Hill reruns went off the local stations that I realized just how much I say things from the show because Always Sunny started to surpass it.

Only they're references nobody ever gets in IRL. Whereas a Family Guy quote gets people thinking you're the funniest guy on Earth.

Except my Family Guy quoting is more obscure jokes from it.

It's a good thing others are forced to be in my presence.

Bayonetta 2 serves multiple purposes for Nintendo:
1) broaden it's portfolio
2) fill Q4 2014 with releases
3) helps its bonding with 3rd party studios
4) attract "core" non-nintendo crowd
5) hopefully make some profit

It does 1 & 2, nobody argues that. We can assume it does 3. It succeeds less in 4 & 5 - although it did make some core gamers buy a WiiU specifically for WiiU.

How many, and how does this turn out as an investment for Nintendo? That's hard to say, we can only guess.
My out-of-my-ass calculation: WiiU sales had a 2k bump last week in japan, and let's assume another 2k bought it in the months before that specifically for Bayonetta, seems reasonable. That would make 4.000 "core bayonetta fans" buy a WiiU.
For the US, let's make that 7000, and Europe 4000. I give the US a bit more because Bayonetta sold most there and is a bigger market.
That's 15000 WiiU's sold. With 40$ a console profit (console + some accessory): 600000 + 150.000 bayonetta WW sold at 35$ profit = 5.850.000$
This might be totally wrong, so feel free to play with the parameters. We also don't know what Nintendo payed Platinum for the game (10-15million would seem like a normal budget for a title like this + port of bayo1), and if Nintendo keeps the rights to release Bayonetta 2 in the future (for example in 4-5 years for it's new portable). I'd assume chances are nintendo also has those rights (but not the IP rights).

 

[benjipwns]

Ah yes, the core Bayonetta fanbase.

He's also forgetting the revenues from the major motion picture franchise that's sure to be coming.

[Human Snorenado]

Back before the moderation team at gaf went full spergtard, you could legit reply to posts like that with "you just typed multiple paragraphs about how Nintendo was going to make profit off Bayo2" without getting banned

[Howard Alan Treesong]

That is some fucking amazing napkin math nonsense

or in Bayonetta's case, kleenex math nonsense

Honestly, I don't care how much it sells, I'm just glad the game managed to get released. The original Bayo is my favorite hack and slash style game ever.

[Positive Touch]

same. just the fact that it's out there and translated is good enough for me; I'll be able to play it someday and that's great.

[Shaka Khan]

I'll make that day happen sooner than you think bro.

[Positive Touch]

WOOOOO

[Joe Molotov]

Shaka will come to your house and tie you up and force you to play Bayonetta one-handed mode with one hand while doing unspeakable things with your other.

Now if Hatsune Miku was a DLC character...

[Rahxephon91]

It really dosent matter that Bayo 2 bombed. Everyone knew it would, but at least it's a thing. Bayo has 2 good games and will now avoid having a tired and un-needed third game. Not many series even have two good games so it's already pretty amazing.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

its cute how you used the word "good" and "bayonetta" in the same sentence

[Rahxephon91]

Just the decline of the species.

[I'm a Puppy!]

im sorry i dont support the objectification of women

Would you not bang her a lot?

[Himu]

Why do people think Bayonetta objectifies women when she fights "pure" Angels and uses bdsm to kick ass? Do they realize that sexuality doesn't equal objectification? Christ I wish people would learn something about a thing called fucking context.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

maybe if she covered up and didnt look like a "sexy librarian" to titulate lonely nerds she could be masqueraded as a liberal female warrior but nope

[Himu]

bayonetta is covered up. the only skin of hers you see is her face, some of her back, and some cleavage which is mostly obscured because of her necklace. you see more of her back than you see of her boobs but okay.

please port bayonetta to pc.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Why should you see any of her cleavage? it's insulting

[Human Snorenado]

stfu, you piece of shit

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i didnt know the bore was full of misogynists

[Human Snorenado]

Good job on de-lepering methodis, demi and joe. That shit has gone swimmingly.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

oh boo hoo i insulted a video game you like because i dont agree with how the female protaginist is overly sexualized, how will you ever deal

[Human Snorenado]

You don't, though. You're not capable of thoughts that advanced, you lying, worthless piece of shit. Fuck off and die.

Breaking: PS4 was September's top-selling console, leading current-gen software sales including Madden NFL 15, NHL 15 & FIFA 15. Thank you 💙

https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/522868575917191168

I really wonder what people are buying with their PS4s  ... I've got the thing and I can't find many reasons to turn it on. 

[Supermanisdead]

buy ps4, play yearly ea sports games 

[AdmiralViscen]

I don't understand why Pachter sticks his neck out with goofy, specific predictions that are liable to be shot down within a matter of days.

I miss Oscar's comforting assurances consoles are dying already 

[Himu]

Goddamit was rooting for xbone oh well

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Sold almost three times as much in September as it did in August.

Even I'm scratching my head at how that happened. Didn't think Destiny would be that big.

[Stoney Mason]

Not a surprise. As far as sales the PS4 has won the next gen war. They came out of the gate better and created a lot of momentum in the diehards which filtered over to the more casual audience. MS did a lot of stupid stuff from the jump and forced kinect in there which created a pricing problem.

To their credit and the credit of Spencer they turned around alot of that stuff and have done a lot better since but the damage had already been done. The only way they could outsell the PS4 is if its cheaper. Price parity and exclusive just won't do it.

I'm happy with my xbox one but it won't win the sales crown in the US unless something odd happens or MS luckily stumbles into creating a super hot franchise which seems unlikely.

[cool breeze]

smash bros seems to have sold really well but didn't give the 3ds a big boost.  nintendo should announce the new 3ds for america.

chin up, Destiny sold most on xbox one excluding bundles

edit: neither forza horizon 2 or driveclub charted.  at least horizon 2 deserved to do well.
