Forums - Sales Discussion - SEGA confirm PC sales of 170,000 plus for Bayonetta

Oneeee-Chan!!! on 23 May 2017

SEGA Europe’s Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing, John Clark, has told PC Invasion that Bayonetta has sold “just over 170,000” copies on PC. That comes from an interview with Clark about SEGA’s recent PC porting activities, which will be published in full tomorrow.

He adds that SEGA are “really happy with the performance” of Bayonetta, suggesting that the game has either met or exceeded expectations on PC. Confirmation of those sales figures also indicates that SteamSpy’s estimates for the title are very close. The latest figures there show 173,000 owners on Steam.

Next on SEGA’s release list is Vanquish, available on Steam from Thursday (25 May). We’ll have a Technical Review up on the site in time for launch day, looking at the port.

....And thrice as many versions of the game were torrented and downloaded for free by pirates.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Pretty good :). More sega games on steam are welcome :).

I wonder what expectations were for the port, because 170k isn't bad, but it's not a lot either. I guess they're able to recoup the cost with sub 6 figure sales.

Considering it's 7 years old, no multiplayer etc, did way better than i thought it would do. Good for them!

Well deserved!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

That's more than I was expecting, I'll say that. I wonder if this'll mean anything for the future of the franchise.

I hope they enjoy it. One of my favorite games at the time and I made a thread saying that it sucked (based on the trailer). Couldn't recommend it enough after playing it but so many other games have borrowed from it since then, it probably doesn't impress like it used to. I feel like it's my baby!

That's actually really well for a really late port, which is sold for $20.
