	CreolePaladin posted 22/12/2008, 06:36 I think this was always intended as a sleeper. Should be at 550-600K by the end of December. If Microsoft does the bundle everyone expects they will, a million is in the bag. Message \| Report

	ninjamonkey posted 17/12/2008, 09:27 well u also got to think that the xbox doesnt have many platformers,unlike the plastation which is famous for platformers,rachet and jak and also tomb raider,crash,and spyro all got started on the playstation so of course a platformer is going to do alot better on the playstation Message \| Report
	Egghead posted 16/12/2008, 11:28 Fair enough, but you also have to remember Ratchet is a name thats been around for years, Banjo? Most people have forgotten And as weve seen, sometimes a lack of games can mean a game selling better, just look at Naruto on the 360, BB is doing anywhere near as good Also, MS can bundle this with VP2, they book look incredibly kiddy, and this could attract the right market (they are FAR FAR FAR from being kiddy games though...)

	Egghead posted 14/12/2008, 12:47 How is this game a failure = \| This game is selling nicely on the XBOX brand, pretty good if you ask me. On top of that, this will prove a great game along with Viva Pinata 2 to bundle next XMAS, both very attractive and kiddy looking games that MS can use to push consoles Message \| Report
	iberz posted 14/12/2008, 11:36 Well there is one advantage of Banjo's failure. Next time Rare make a game, hopefully a Conker one, they will try and stick to their roots abit. Never disliked the vehicles but they focused too heavily on them IMO Message \| Report
	MorgZ posted 13/12/2008, 02:03 this game will struggle to hit 1 million without bundles but will be an easy xmas 2009 bundle game for ms and will hit 1 million by the end of 2009 due to bundling. Message \| Report

	Egghead posted 10/12/2008, 08:29 This might sell well in Japan given how well the last two did there Message \| Report
	Barozi posted 07/12/2008, 06:48 Why is it bad ? Ratchet had good legs even without bundling, so will Banjo. Casual games always have great legs, so it really doesn't matter in the long term how big the userbase was, when the game has been released. But be my guest and show me a game you would compare Banjo to. Any casual game that will break the 1 million barrier on the 360 is a success, especially when its predecessor only managed to sell 1.5 million copies. Or are you one of the people who underestimate the selling power of casual games ??? cough The Simpsons Game cough Message \| Report
	MontanaHatchet posted 07/12/2008, 03:09 Barozi, you're happy that it's selling like Ratchet & Clank on the PS3? Hmm, let's look at the respective userbases... American PS3 userbase when R&C launched: 2.2 million American Xbox 360 userbase when Banjo launched: 13.4 million And the hilarious thing is that Banjo is actually selling more slowly than Ratchet. Not the best games to compare to each other, you should know. Message \| Report

	Barozi posted 06/12/2008, 07:58 lol it's selling like Ratchet & Clank PS3 and you're complaining about it. Please also keep in mind, that the last Banjo game only managed to sell 1.5 million units. The sales won't be crap. It will be a huge success for Microsoft, when they are going to sell over 1 million copies of a casual game on their console. Message \| Report
	thanny posted 06/12/2008, 01:47 nope.... i would never have owned it either way, but i was just pointing out that the sales are actually pretty crap contrary to what you are making them to be Message \| Report
	MorgZ posted 06/12/2008, 10:00 Although i agree that the sales are a bit disappointing and that the reviews generally did put me off buying this on launch its definitely a game i'll pick up in the January drought and would be a great game for MS to start bundling with potentially halo3 next year. I think this game will have legs and without bundles make it comfortably to 500k and eventually - with bundles - to 1 million and beyond. Not quite the commercial success that MS had hoped for but it should turn a profit. It is also - whether it is your cup of tea or not - another totally different game to add to the 360 library.

	Infamous posted 06/12/2008, 07:35 @ thanny You seem like someone raged at Rare because they're not traditional and used vehicular-platforming, judging my all your recent attacks on game sales compared to previous installments in topics and even here, rofl. Must suck for you. Message \| Report
	thanny posted 06/12/2008, 06:24 @ Infamous. Hes desperate? yes, its 15k more. (black friday sales everything is more) but... even with 15k more the sales are still crap. seriously, the sales went from terrible to slightly better then terrible, doesnt mean it sold good. 200k in 3 weeks for an established franchise means this game is a flop Message \| Report

	FloatingWaffles posted 04/02/2015, 01:11 Is this game undertracked? It completely stopped selling after 2009. Even if it wasn't the type of game people wanted out of the Banjo-Kazooie series it's still a big name game, like how could it have sold that badly after 2009? Message \| Report

	T.Rexington posted 16/05/2012, 05:05 Incredibly underrated game in my opinion. I just adored this game so much for it's huge environments and creativity. It's a shame that this is probably the final nail in the core game releases for Rare. Besides Perfect Dark Zero, I thought all their games were amazing and they should've released more but instead got refocused because of bad sales. Message \| Report

	Egghead posted 14/12/2008, 12:47 How is this game a failure = \| This game is selling nicely on the XBOX brand, pretty good if you ask me. On top of that, this will prove a great game along with Viva Pinata 2 to bundle next XMAS, both very attractive and kiddy looking games that MS can use to push consoles Message \| Report
	iberz posted 14/12/2008, 11:36 Well there is one advantage of Banjo's failure. Next time Rare make a game, hopefully a Conker one, they will try and stick to their roots abit. Never disliked the vehicles but they focused too heavily on them IMO Message \| Report
	MorgZ posted 13/12/2008, 02:03 this game will struggle to hit 1 million without bundles but will be an easy xmas 2009 bundle game for ms and will hit 1 million by the end of 2009 due to bundling. Message \| Report

	Barozi posted 07/12/2008, 06:48 Why is it bad ? Ratchet had good legs even without bundling, so will Banjo. Casual games always have great legs, so it really doesn't matter in the long term how big the userbase was, when the game has been released. But be my guest and show me a game you would compare Banjo to. Any casual game that will break the 1 million barrier on the 360 is a success, especially when its predecessor only managed to sell 1.5 million copies. Or are you one of the people who underestimate the selling power of casual games ??? cough The Simpsons Game cough Message \| Report
	MontanaHatchet posted 07/12/2008, 03:09 Barozi, you're happy that it's selling like Ratchet & Clank on the PS3? Hmm, let's look at the respective userbases... American PS3 userbase when R&C launched: 2.2 million American Xbox 360 userbase when Banjo launched: 13.4 million And the hilarious thing is that Banjo is actually selling more slowly than Ratchet. Not the best games to compare to each other, you should know. Message \| Report

	Barozi posted 06/12/2008, 07:58 lol it's selling like Ratchet & Clank PS3 and you're complaining about it. Please also keep in mind, that the last Banjo game only managed to sell 1.5 million units. The sales won't be crap. It will be a huge success for Microsoft, when they are going to sell over 1 million copies of a casual game on their console. Message \| Report
	thanny posted 06/12/2008, 01:47 nope.... i would never have owned it either way, but i was just pointing out that the sales are actually pretty crap contrary to what you are making them to be Message \| Report
	MorgZ posted 06/12/2008, 10:00 Although i agree that the sales are a bit disappointing and that the reviews generally did put me off buying this on launch its definitely a game i'll pick up in the January drought and would be a great game for MS to start bundling with potentially halo3 next year. I think this game will have legs and without bundles make it comfortably to 500k and eventually - with bundles - to 1 million and beyond. Not quite the commercial success that MS had hoped for but it should turn a profit. It is also - whether it is your cup of tea or not - another totally different game to add to the 360 library.
