People are underestimating the sales potential of Bayonetta 2 (plus predictions)

[MyCodenameIsIan]

Bayonetta was an unknown quantity when it originally released.  Platinum Games were reletively unknown, Bayonetta's character design was unique but not the proven marketable male brooding character we usally get in these types of games.

The game was received well critically and word of mouth was positve but it was heavily discounted by retailers to shift units.

Now the franchise has a cult following, Nintendo have backed it with marketing and Platinum are more well known.  I'd expect it to match the original in sales and with Bayonetta 1 getting packed in there is no excuse for people not to buy it.
