So first off let me say I really like their games, I picked up Bayonetta and MGR and liked them both and I intend to get Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2, but its no secret that their games have not been selling well. Wonderful 101 is doing really bad, which I don't think it deserves to be, and MGR sold 1.24m units (according to VGC) and that game looked like it had some pretty high production values so I don't think they made much of a profit off that. The original Bayonetta sold 1.95m units which is really good, but I don't think that reflects how good the sequel will do, since its on a console with a small install base and its fans are on different consoles so tbh I don't see the game selling all that well. They also recently came out with Anarchy Reigns which only sold 0.27m units.
Now personally if this trend continues I don't see them sticking around much longer as they are, which is a real shame because they come out with some really unique games. If I had to guess I'd say Nintendo would buy them out, but that's also questionable considering how Wonderful 101 was received, its not really up to the Nintendo standard. I think it will depend on how Bayonetta 2 does. So anyway what do you guys think? Is Platinum gonna be fine or do you think something extreme will happen?
