Is it really an accomplishment to sell 1 million copies after almost 2 years and after a 60% price drop at retail? Games like Rise of the Tomb Raider sold far over a million in less than 3 months on just one console.

I guess for any non-first party game on a Nintendo platform, maybe that is an accomplishment, considering how bad 3rd party usually does, comparatively.

That's when the first one sold most of its copies on the other systems (years later, discounted price). Bayo was never a huge out the gate seller. There are probably a LOT of titles that fall into this catagory.

Go ahead and ask for a Mario and Zelda compilation  for PS4 while you're at it. ;)

Nah thanks

I just want Bayo, since I originally bought it on my 360 ;)

Then why do you want it on PS4? Shouldn't you be asking for it on the Xbone (since a MS console is the system you originally bought it for)?

Since when was Bayonetta's best-in-the-genre gameplay shallow?

Best in genre is VERY subjective, don't state it as if its an undeniable truth, its not.

I played Bayonetta, the first one, and I would put DMC, GOW and MGR as having better gameplay and some of them having better level design and pacing as well. All of them have a much better story.

Definitely not the new one. Ugh...

Ofc no. I think the new DMC is good but Bayonetta was better. Really though, now that I think about it, only DMC 3 is better than Bayonetta in the entire series xD

But my point about GOW and MGR stands true, I think Bayonetta is better than the first GOW but not as good as the rest and with MGR I think Platinum really outdid themselves, had so much fun with that game even though its ridiculously short.

You are talking logic and he clearly is stating the obvious to troll a Bayonetta thread! For all of these people that are so hard up on wanting these games they should have bought and played the 1st version on their system of choice. Even a series like MH is doing much better on Nintendo’s systems than it ever did on Playstation and people get extremely upset because it's a good move for Capcom.

I'll give you standing head to head with the best of others series, Bayo wins some and loses some overall. It's definitely not a Bayo sweep, but Bayo and 2 are both amazing games, especially on a gameplay level and level design. Story and pacing is where it hiccups.

MGR isn't a series but for GOW I think GOW II, GOS and III all have better gameplay, pacing, level design and story. COO was overall a better game. Bayonetta has got a smooth and great combat system, so combat wise I'd say its as good or slightly better than GOW III which had the best combat in it series. In terms of boss fights its better than some and worse than some.

But MGR and DMC 3 have better combat than Bayonetta. That said other DMC games are also better in some ways, though worse overall.

But that's not original source NPD data - that's NeoGaf claiming to have NPD data. It could be real, or could be made up and not what NPD really has on file. And as good as NPD can be, they can and will at times be wrong.

Fact: Bayo 2 hit #9 for Amazon monthly October 2014, behind only Smash 3DS, CoD, and PSN giftcards. (Ahead of Shadow of Mordor! Halo!) Only selling 180k seems a bit far-fetched - even if Amazon isn't 100% representative of all game-buying, correct?

Haha, so we are at the point of denying verified GAF leakers now to defend our argument? Dayum

EDIT: Even better, we are using Amazon which is notoriously unreliable for software to try and dispute verified GAF NPD leakers. Boy oh boy!

However, the GAF leaker was not creamsugar - it was a totally new GAF leaker who has not since established any track record. The leak just doesn't much credibility as others.

BTW - this Amazon *monthly* - which serves as a better leading indicator of what gamers are buying than hourly charts.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

I know it's Amazon monthly, and it's still a horrible indicator for sales.
