If you compare Bayonetta's numbers with MadWorld, you will see that there no difference (For Exemple, in America: MadWorld [0.31] Bayonetta PS3 [0.21] Bayonetta 360 [0.30]). Because we have 3 consoles, not 2HD and Wii. Each with a type of investment because they are different platforms. The difference come when you see to others territories like Asia and Europe, but there others type of investment in here too for each tittle in each platform.
Sega, one day, has said that the number of MadWorld are very good. A sequel have been mentioned. With time they changed their opinion...

They combine the figures because the cost of porting to the PS3 was REALLY LOW, therefore most of that is profit

Porting costs are usually low when games are designed to be multiplatform (as Platinum is doing with Vanquish)... Bayonetta wasn't, it was conceived as a 360 exclusive and Sega decided to handle the PS3 port themselves inhouse when they stuck the publishing deal. I doubt it was a particularly cheap port due to the way it handled, even if the quality was somewhat lacking.
Still, combining the figures makes some sense, but if we're going to compare budgets, then Bayonetta was likely several times more expensive than a game like MadWorld. Both for development and promotion.
