Theres a reason why the game is called a "cult game". There are quite a few cult hits in the history of gaming, but Platinum Games titles exclusive to one console have a slim chance without having a huge name behind it.

Madworld did 720k, that was a Platinum exclusive.

There's no way W101 will be a "hit" in terms of budget if  it really is more expensive than Bayonetta, though.

For a Japanese game since they were so far behind in tech last gen that was just above profit level (which nothing to talk about for a console that sold so much, and rather quickly ). That and the Wii base was way larger by the time Madworld came out. What was that like two to three years in? The profit level demands were much lower so they cannot be compared. This game will demand much more profit than Madworld.

considering Madworld sold for under 5 bucks for half its shelf life i dont think it even made a profit, id be surprised if it broke even. it was cheaper to make but to the point where selling for 2 bucks new they made money?doubt it, hell its 50 cents now, shipping cost more.
