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). 

"I predict this will be the last LBP game we see."

LBP is mostly sold to families and casual-core gamers who don't care much about reviews. It's still LBP.

Oh so now we've arrived at the attach ratio spin. Great. Attach ratio doesn't sell games, sales do.

It's not a spin. It's called perspective. You can't possibly expect Wii U games to sell as much as PS3/PS4 games. 

Intelligent Systems claimed Fire Emblem HD would need to sell 700k to be profitable. So I think Bayonetta 2 is doing just fine.
