I came in this thread to see two things: Why people weren't buying Bayonetta, and what people had to say about Madworld possibly outperforming it in America. Unfortunately no on addressed issue number 2 but I'm seeing that most of the anti-Bayonetta sentiments are spawning from ignorance.
I mean, God of War clone? Really? I think you need to recheck who made strides in this genre. |
It's doing worse then Madworld... holy crap.
I mean, i think it's plain to see which of the two games was supposed to be their "big" game.
The sales really are surprising to me... I hope it really isn't the "she's a girl!" thing and more of a "Platnium has a hard time conveying what in their game is serious and what isn't."

It's not doing worse in first week sales for either platform. I guess Madworld might have more legs, but I don't see that as being something I would bet on.

Huh. Wonder why Claude said that...
Yeah, i don't see it having more legs either. I mean it's a Wii game sure... but from what i understand it's a short wii game.
I think often "Wii Legs" are created by the fact that said wii games are the kinds of games that people want to play "forever" games that people don't trade in.

That's why I said "possibly." Bayonetta has a better debut but if neither version has legs they may end up at frighteningly similar places. Then again, Sega drops prices quickly so that might give it some extra life.
I am just mostly shocked as I figured it would blow Madworld away in sales and, well...it didn't. Out of the 3 games announced, this was clearly Platinum's biggest. Not sure what to think or how they'll react with sales like these...
