LBP3 has sold almost 700k on PS4+PS3 so far. It's the same game. How much more expensive do you think LBP3 was than Bayonetta 2, because LBP3 will easily triple, quadruple, or worse, quintuple Bayo 2's sales.

Bayonetta 2 is a Japanese niche game on a very poor selling console that everyone is calling a fail already.

LBP3 is an iconic PS brand on a huge userbase and the sales aren't very spectacular. I predict this will be the last LBP game we see. 

So, again, you're basing this on nothing but your own bias. Just for fun, and because I like to destroy unfounded arguments, here's how the real numbers look:

Notice LBP3 (PS4 version alone) is keeping up with LBP1. When both PS3 and PS4 versions are combined they line up with LBP2.

 

Now for the main course:Now answer me how much more expensive you think LBP3 is than Bayo 2?

It's not going to have the same legs with those mediocre reviews and buggy game glitches. And it's probably more expensive than Bayonetta 2 yes. I never said Bayonetta 2 would sell more or profit more. It's a Japanese niche game for crying out loud. LBP is supposed to be one of Sony's biggest franchises. 

Bayonetta 2's attach ratio is a lot higher. And that's pretty impressive for a Japanese niche game on a Nintendo console (where third party and "mature" games usually don't sell well at all).
