The Japanese sales tanked though. It only sold 38K units in it's opening week. Hopefully that doesn't translate worldwide.
That's actually pretty and not what I would consider a tank. Especially considering the factors going into it.
1) The size of the Japanese gaming market
2) The number of Japanese people who own a Wii U
3) The number of Japanese people who own a Wii U that want Bayonetta.
(There's also a bit more but those 3 factors are pretty big for a games sales data).
I say it's goo because with all that said, it still sold 40K.
To put that into perspective:
Wonderful 101 (Another brilliant Platinum title) only sold 30K WORLDWIDE with only 5K in Japan in it's first week. <- That's a tank.
If Bayonetta has sold 40K in just a few days from the Japanese market alone, then the future is bright for Bayonetta. I couldn't really care about Super Smash Nerf Festival 4 but even I'm buying a Wii U just for Bayonetta.
Edit: Forgot to mention, in Europe we have a rare special edition with only 15000 produced. Instantly sold out every where. I had to order mine from France. That has pushed sales numbers up a bit too.
