Whats happening is that bayonetta is too crazy over the top to be a hit in the west, people don't want that kind of games anymore, mostly the teens that buy this kind of game all they want is a badass male caracther that grunts laud and makes them feel manly.

Bayonetta will sell better with older gamers, gamers that are much more interested in its awesome gameplay then anything else, because thats its great strength its amazing gameplay , bayonetta the character is one of the most charismatic to be created in the last decade well in line the creativity that only japanese developers have

Its to bad this isn't going to sell well , in fact no one in his right mind was expecting it to be a hit, but one thing im sure will happen is that in 10 years from now people will still be talking about bayonetta and will completely forget almost all the major hits of this generation

Its a shame that kids that grew up gaming with PS2 generation... FPS's and sandbox games... probably never learned the fundimetals of solid gameplay. That is not enough to them alone... If you gave them NES castlevania, Contra or Mario they prolly wouldn't find it fun.

I see it so often with 20 year olds at my workplace... The hardest thing I've ever had to do is explain to a 21 year old whos first console was an Xbox360 why Castlevania SOTN is a better game than Uncharted.

It's even a problem for people who started before then.  I went back to my parents last week.  They had my old NES hooked up.  So i thought i'd play some of the classics.

Popped in SMB 1 a game i thought would be ok, but wouldn't hold up because of the advancements in SMB3 and SMW....

I was floored by the perfection of that game.

The controls are way tighter then i remembered them being, you don't even miss the extra items.  The level layouts are perfectly constructed... no death ever feels cheap, you always feel like you have a fair chance the first time through you face something...

It's as amazing today as it was when the NES came out.
