Madworld is a niche brawler, with really short playtime and no replay value. It would have bombed in HD too... like Bayonetta did on the HD (they are from the same studio).

I just want to lol hard at this.

Hold on...

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

There!

FYI, Bayonetta has sold over 1.4 Million units in under a year, and a sequel is being planned... That game didn't bomb.

According to NPD, Bayonetta PS3 sold slightly less than MadWorld in the US (60k vs 66k 1st months, and consider that Bayo had 2 more weeks of tracking).  I don't think Bayonetta bombed, but it was considered a relative disappointment outside Japan when sales watchers were looking at it's debut... a lot like MadWorld actually.  Platinum seems to be carrying the Clover curse imo.
