I was checking the Media Create sales, and while I always thought W101 had 'bomba' written all over it, I wasn´t expecting such terrible, small numbers.

I expect Bayonetta 2 to perform worse than its predecessor, and I´m not sure how difficult it´ll be for Platinum to secure contracts with publishers, provided they remain 'independent'...I guess..very difficult, most likely.

I think most of their games are great, but they all lack mainstream appeal, so is the future dark for Platinum?

i agree with this, but then why does it seem that publishers arent making money on their games? Sega didnt seem to make any, not sure Ninty will either. Are they expecting too much even though they know they are niche. How the hell the does a game like W101 have a bigger budget than Bayonetta. its only on one system and it doesnt seem like its using an insane engine either. THe only game that seemed to make something was that Metal Gear and that sold cause its Metal Gear

I guess it´s safe to say W101 won´t be recouping its losses...relative to the budget that was spent, I wonder if this game is Platinum´s biggest bomba so far.
