lol at putting Bayonetta's ww figure against MadWorld's 1st NPD. "Games Journalism" at it's finest. <3

Here's the first NPD for Bayonetta (which had a week more than MadWorld btw) if anyone's interested in an actual comparable figure...

Bayonetta 360: 100,000
Bayonetta PS3: 60,000


... in other words, if MadWorld was "mismatch for the audience" going by NPD sales, then Bayonetta was pretty much the same exact thing...

Well, to be fair, they're not padding the numbers that much. How much did MadWorld sell in Japan? (since we likely have 0 data on European sales)

That isn't being fair. How is defending them spinning the numbers "to be fair"? I am so sick of that phrase, as it's thrown around by people not even knowing the context.

And 160,000 being treated as 1.1 million isn't being padded that much? Did you even pay attention to all the comments?
