Bayonetta dubuts less that Darksiders !
Who saw this coming !


I thought that was a given... Its a shame though. Platnum games has a gift for making memorable and classic games...but they are rarely rewarded with sales.

Good for Darksiders... seems like a cool game too.


im pretty sure it has a LOT to do with them fucking up the ps3 version. i would ecpect more sales if it was not for the bad press. o well like ive said before make a good game or dont make it on ps3.


This could be correct, I really dont know... but a lot of Ps3 fans response seems to be in the vain of "hahaha...you screwed up with PS3 version and your game didn't sell".

Kidna petty if you ask me...

it has been a very bad stigma with ps3 multiplats, developers just don't give a shit about the platform. I don't think it's petty at all, it's about time ps3 owners started to demand better from these developers, it would only make them care more thus making better multiplats, which is better for everyone

Its one of those...chicken and the egg theories.

If Sony knew how to make good development tools and didn't make their processors such a pain in the ass to program for, development would be a lot easier and less ports would suffer.

The argument just goes around in a circle...

Microsoft, who got its start selling computer languages for programmers, and also tools for developing on operating systems, has an edge over Sony in the development environment arena.  One can say Sony is superior to Microsoft on the hardware from for similar reasons.  With Microsoft, they are the only ones actively reaching out to small garage game developers, who are seeking their first break, on consoles.  End result is that Microsoft gets superior support from third-party.  All they had to do is remain near the PS3 with the 360s sales, and the developers follow.  This is an edge Microsoft offers, that Sony doesn't, and it is likely to remain this for a LONG time.  If you have the likes of Apple entering the videogame market, expect similar.  You do see this in the portable area with the iPod/iPhone as a gaming platform.
