and the main character from an upcoming major exclusive. that's far more than sonic and snake ever had.

... Sonic Advance 1, 2, 3, Sonic Battle, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Night, Sonic Boom, Sonic Lost World, and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics all say hi.

Notice the word "major". How many of those sonics got the exposure of bayonetta 2?


Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games- 7.93 million Wii 5.06 million DS

Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics- 4.46 million Wii 3.4 million DS

Mario and Sonic at the London Olympic Games- 3.6 million Wii 1.1 million 3DS

Sonic Rush- 2.9 million

Sonic and the Secret Rings- 2.6 million

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle- 2.5 million

Sonic Advance 2- 1.8 million

Sonic Colors- 1.5 million Wii 1.2 million DS

Sonic Advance 3- 1.4 million

Sonic Adventure DX- 1.27 million

Common sense dictates you don't sell between 1 and 12 million copies without some sort of exposure.  Just because fanboys weren't whining about it doesn't mean the games weren't well promoted.
