Wonderful 101's budget was Platnum's biggest.  If you think Bayonetta 2 is gonna be smaller than that, or smaller than thte first, then I'm not sure what to say to that without getting banned

Looking at Bayonetta 2, I'd wager assets were recycled which is a cost-cutting measure. This is no replacement for hard numbers by any measure but it's something to think about. It's the same idea behind Majora's Mask which was released about 1.5 years after Ocarina of Time.

Big difference is Majora's Mask came out in the Middle of the End of N64s cycle.

What interesting about this is it sold 38-39k copies in two days, and thats about 19400 copies a day. What happens if it keeps selling about 19,400 copies a day for a week? It would be close to 136k in a week span. Those numbers are not too shabby ESPECIALLY in a country where Console gaming is dying. Albeit that's a big IF but I think we should AT least give it a week before we jump the gun here.

Also, remember the original Bayonetta came out when Consoles were more popular in Japan (October 2009 to be exact), it only makes sense it sold more 5 years ago than now where Handheld and Mobile gaming are King in Japan. Hence that's why the two games that are ahead of it are Handheld games.

I don't think you need to wait to conclude that something noone has ever seen before won't happen.  Do you have any examples of games that sold the same daily rate the second week as it did the first?  Particularly in Japan.  That's simply not how sales work, due to preorders the bulk of those 38k were actually on the first day and then things will go down from there assymptotically (sp) towards zero barring some bumps for price cuts and holidays.  It's simply ludicrous to think that this game could possibly continue to sell on a daily rate what it did the first week.
