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)

For Bayonetta? 196k PS3 and 88k 360 ltd according to Famitsu.

Sega didn't even release MadWorld in Japan though, so we can't really have an exact comparison there...

I thought it was released relatively recently. Must have slipped up.

It was, but not by Sega, from whom all these comments are coming.  Spike picked it up.
