I thought the Bayonetta was too masculine looking (she`s more masculine looking than pretty boy Dante! lol) but I don`t know. She does seem like a sexy video game version of Sarah Palin in a better body. You can`t expect every new IP to be a hit right away like Devil May Cry. Considering the current climate of home console gaming in Japan, Bayonetta did alright.
Btw the 360 version of Bayonetta beat the 360 version of DMC4. So at least it beat DMC4 in ONE platform. Considering that Tekken 6 on PS3 outsold the 360 version 3.75:1 in Japan and Bayonetta`s ratio was "only" 2.11, it`s very clear that a signficiant number of Japanese 360 owners also own a PS3 and HD twin owners in Japan mostly bought it for 360 because of what they read in the Famitsu review. Unless PS3 owners without a 360 shunned the game because they refused to play what they saw as an inferior version (that`s just silly OCD IMO. They shouldn`t be depriving themselves of a potentially great game because of this).
