Ok 

Demon Soul sold 500k during its first 8 months over the Ps3 = a success 

Bayo 2 sold 340k over 4 weeks,  it is a failure. 

I like the logic from fanboys.

Demon's Souls was only out in Japan for its first 8 months.  Of course it didn't actually do 500k in Japan in those first 8 months, and it did more than 500k if you align the launches, so I don't even know where you got that number.

Demon's Souls is considered a success because of its final total.  Also the fact that it is a new IP, if Dark Souls had sold significantly worse than Demon's it would be considered a failure.

Bayonetta 2 is also significantly overtracked in the US.  By more than double for the first two weeks at least.  It also hasn't shown much in the way of legs in Japan or the UK.  After 9 weeks in Japan it still hasn't reached the 360's first week much less the PS3's.
