From A Skeptic: Where Nintendo Should Take The Wii U

Bayonetta 2 as much as I hate to say it will likely flop.

Nintendo needs that "big dog" core game franchise that can move 3-4+ million on its own. Then smaller sellers like the Bayonettas, Metroids, and third party stuff can line up behind that.

Content wise too, it's too far removed from the core franchises people associate with Nintendo machines, which is part of Nintendo's problem. Sometimes when they get these games, they go too far to show they have violent content, and it doesn't mesh with the audience's perception.

You need something in between Mario/Animal Crossing and Bayonetta/Ninja Gaiden that isn't Zelda.

Something maybe like Zelda but a few shades darker and a bit more story driven would probably do the trick.

*chough* Darksider 2 *cough*

But I agree.
