Platinum games are amazing devs. I hope everybody and their mom buy Bayo2 to encourage PG to continue doing games the way they do!


A lot of moms wont like Bayonetta unless they are relatively young or fans. This game is focused on a niche audience. I will be enjoying it though. I am a hack n slash fanatic, but being that its on the Nintendo console not going to sell well at all since most hack n slash fanatics are not on the Nintendo console.

Well, the first one barely scraped passed 2 million across over 160 million PS3s and Xbox 360s.

Let's assume the Wii U tops out at about 20 million consoles sold. To get the same attach rate Bayo 2 would have to sell 250,000. I'm petty sure it can top that.


You seem to forget the profit for the level of development. Platinum isn't doing that well with Nintendo, but Nintendo is taking the fall just in case the games tank. What you're expecting is nowhere near what that game should sell. The base just isn't built for these types of games. Hack N Slash hasn't been a thing on the Nintendo console since what the SNES and most of those games were third party in the first place.
