I'm so sad Bayonetta 2 is selling so poorly, the best game of all three, in fact, it's one of the best of 2014. What the hell are Nintendo fans playing? Damn.

Sunset Overdrive also had it difficult because most of Insomniac's fan base is in PS platforms.

The Order, good ideas poorly executed. However, Sony is promoting the game a lot and PS4 has more consoles sold, so it's pretty much clear it will reach 1 m first.

Of course the Order will be first. Its an exclusive on the best selling 8th gen console which also hasn't had many big exclusives.
Between the three games, its the least deserving of those sales though.

You seem to be reading things with the intent to inject bias where there is none.

Also to those wondering why these games have been set against each other, it is because all of them have been surrounded in controversy for one reason or another. And that controversy can be fueled or dampened depending on how the game sell. The causes of the controversy are different, but these games have been controversial in a way few games have been this generation. (well aside from SFV and RTR, which are still a long way from releasing).

It's not that i'm "injecting" bias where there is none, it's the way you wrote it that seemed off to me, I honestly can't remember you being there when SO and B2 were out and hoping they'd sell really well, why start now?, it just seems strange, especially given the current siuation with TO.

Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

The Ugly (despite being beautiful) will reach it first, the bad will come second and the good will come last.

Sadly.

The order, easily. The other two games are niche with zero mass market appeal.

The Order most likely will be the one to warrant a sequel. I'm calling 1 million within the first two weeks and two million over a three month period.

Nintendo fans generally play core Nintendo games. Bayonetta is a rather unorthodox addition to the catalogue, which makes it special yet cursed. Actually, any Platinum title is cursed when exclusive to any console.
