obvious answer it's demographic.

but it believeable it woould have done better on the HD console not because graphics, but because it would have gotten more support.

It's also believable that a Wii version of Bayonetta would've outsold the PS3 version.  Y'know, because MadWorld outsold it.  Demographics!

No it didn't.

Madworld - 450k - http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=22383&region=All

Bayonetta PS3 - 530k - http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=25465&region=All

Bayonetta 360 - 480k - http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=25464&region=All

Despite Madworld being out for 7 (9 in the west) Months longer, on a far bigger userbase.

Oh, I'm using NPD debuts...

MadWorld in 3 weeks: 66k

Bayonetta PS3 in 4 weeks: 60k

Bayonetta 360 in 4 weeks: 100k

 

edit: and actually, comparing directly to VGC data, we may have another candidate for Overtrackaton!

 

MadWorld in 3 weeks: 72,574 (only 9% over NPD)

Bayonetta PS3 in 4 weeks: 116,474 (49% over NPD!)

Bayonetta 360 in 4 weeks: 195,448 (49% over NPD!)
