Bayonetta would bomb on PS4/720 anyway just like Vanquish did on PS3/360 IMO.

There isn't a market for weird/mid-budget Japanese games on these types of consoles. It's already bad on PS3/360, it will only get worse in the future.

On Wii U, Platinum can make the game at a reasonable cost, have it get a lot of attention, and make sure they are well funded by Nintendo.

Why not compare it to Bayonetta on the PS3/360?

PS3 version: 1.05 m

360 version: 0.84

Those are decent sales. If it sells more than 2m on the Wii U I'd be very impressed.


On the PS4/720 though they'll have to increase the budget of the game to keep pace with what other mega-publishers are pumping out (ie: God Of War PS4).

Those level of sales aren't going to cut it anymore.

I think honestly most of the Japanese studios are going to shy away from the PS4/720 period. 360/PS3/Wii U level tech is all they need.

Platinum is just ahead of the curve getting in bed with Nintendo now, because Nintendo will own Japan with Monster Hunter/Dragon Quest already in their back pocket and have a sizable share in the West too.
