Bayonetta 3 (or even 2) could have the potential to sell over 3 million across all platforms. Combined PSX360 sales for the first Bayonetta shot past 2 million (despite PS3 version being a terrible port) which isn't bad at all considering it's a new IP from an unpopular genre. Sega must have had some unrealistic expectations. They weren't satisfied with Valkyria Chronicles 1 numbers either. |
I'm not syaing people recognize Bayonetta only due to Nintendo, I'm saying due to Nintendo Bayonetta hasn't been forgotten or dissapeared.
Without Nintendo and B2, it would be nearly 10 years since the first game came out. Companies don't just randomly make a sequel to a 10 year old game that didn't sell that well. If Nintendo didn't grab Bayonetta 2 when it did, the entire franchise would have disappeared FOREVER. No boyentta 2 ever, no bayonetta 3, no ect. The series would have been dead and kaput.
And what makes you think it would sell 3 million across all consoles. It didn't when it was released on the the huge userbase it had when Bayonetta 1 released. You are making a baseless claim with that.
Those bizarre triple-clips back in the summer weren't a joke.
The madmen are actually doing it.
Party.

I wouldn´t complain! F-Zero GX still is one of my favorite racing games ever.

Not possible. Microsoft owns all of the assets.

Hahaha, it is fine only if it is PS4 exclusive

MHW is the first proper test to a home console MH. Wii was a joke for third parties outside games designed for casuals, which is why Tri didn't do well on it. From where did u get the idea that Capcom are ignoring Nintendo gamers? They've been constantly bringing one MH game after the other exclusively on Nintendo platforms even while developing MHW...All developers move on at some point from underpowered old platforms or else we would still be stuck with PS2 given the install base disparity between it and a new born PS3. |
They've been constantly rehashing the same MH game on the 3DS you mean. MHW is the first time since ages that they decide to put some effort in it and they skip Nintendo. Switch is a lot more powerful than the 3DS, so they didn't need to go exclusively to PS.
Street Fighter V bombed, as did many other Capcom games on the PS4. Nintendo was the only one keeping that shitty company alive.

How exactly is this a baseless claim? Bayonetta 1 (a new IP) combined sold around 2.2mil on PS360. 2.5mil+ with the generation late PC port (That just came out this year). With Switch and a properly timed PC release added to the formula, exceeding 3mil is a fairly conservative estimation. |
The point you keep ignoring is that Bayonetta 2 exists due 100% to Nintendo. Without Nintendo, there would be no Bayonetta 2, and thus this Bayonetta 3 would be instead be Bayonetta 2 and it would have been 10 years since the first Bayonetta came out.
Most sequels don't sell as well as their predecessor. Not to mention a sequel to a particularly niche game that has not seen a release in 10 years. A second game to a franchise. Not a 3rd, 4th, 5th or anything, just the second game.
There would not be that much hype for suddenly bringing Bayonetta out of the grave.
Doing a quick search I see that Brutal Legends was released also in 2009. It sold approximately what Bayonetta sold as well. So imagine if at the game awards or E3 this coming year Brutal Legends 2 had been announced. Sure it might make the cult fans of the game super excited, but it's not going to have nearly as much hype, excitement or sales potential as Bayonetta 3 does right now. And that reason is because Bayonetta has stayed in the lime light since 2009 due to Bayonetta 2 and Smash inclusion.

LOL wow you're actually blaming Capcom for Nintendo's awful hardware limitations. MH games on 3DS were good, they're just not the most graphically ambitious. MH World isn't all that impressive either when you compare it to Sony's and some third party titles. And what's with this Nintendo saving Capcom drivel? Capcom could have easily survived and profited more from having MH game across multiple platforms. The only thing Nintendo likely did was paying them to make up for the lost sales, and restricting them to laughable system specs. SFV's failure has less to do with exclusivity (it's available on PC btw), and more with the game being crap and slim on content. But yeah, they could have obviously sold more if it was made on more platforms.. and I'm not buying the whole "it wouldn't exist without Sony's funding" crap. |
They released a crap top of MH games on the 3DS and they're all practically the same, that has nothing to do with hardware limitations. That's just Capcom's greed and laziness.
And Ultra Street Fighter on the Switch sold A LOT for something that's basically a $40 SNES game. Again, Capcom's greed is showing. Just recently they've announced a collection of Street Fighter games that also costs $40. So yeah, Switch owners got scammed hard.
MH only sells well on handhelds, so no, Capcom couldn't have survived on other consoles.

Yeah, because Nintendo will be more than ready to fund a game that will be on ps4/Xbox one when Platinum had already said Sony/Microsoft refused to fund Bayonetta 2, Nintendo is the last they asked and Nintendo accepted it. Funding a game will be on competitors system, seem logical
