I'm sure the majority of people who enjoyed the first will no take the plunge to play the second and many franchises remain dormant for extended periods of time, I am sure if SEGA wanted to, they could have revived the Bayonetta series at any time. I'm sure SEGA didn't see any cost benefit from releasing another one, on two platforms no less...I guess Nintendo/Platinum are going to learn the hard way.

Had anyone else revived it, even the OUYA guys, you would have praised their initiative.

What is wrong? If it bombs, people will enjoy the sequel to a great game.

Train wreck isn't a fanboy. He's a persistently negative realist.

Although i think it was a mistake on Sega's part to not do so. First game sold almost 2 million, and had to at least break even unless Platinum went well off over budget. Sega likely just got panicky.

For my part, i could easily see Bayonetta 2 doing as well as Nintendo's mid-low tier franchises, million-sellers like Pikmin or Metroid, which would still make Bayonetta worse off over all, but not if it was gone altogether.
