While it is absurd to expect the game to sell better than established IPs, I don't give complete cop-out answers like that. You have to compare and them while keeping in mind MadWorld is going to lose. It has done very favorably compared to Dynasty Warriors, and pretty decent compated to DMC4. The Devil May Cry series was about as big as God of War so doing as well as it did is pretty good. Especially considering this is never going to be the kind of game that pulls the big numbers honestly.
You might be right about Bayonetta. Seems less stylized and that gives it better odds. MadWorld is going to get hit for the same reason Okami did sales wise. The art style of the game is out there so a lot of people will dismiss it out of hand.
