So why do you think DmC Definitive Edition sold less its first week worldwide on the PS4 and XBone than Bayonetta 2 did on the Wii U?

The original DMC release on the PS4 was absolutely shambolic. That's a main reason right there. It looked absolutely awful on the PS4. Granted, it's now been patched and people (including myself) will now pick this game up at a cheaper price. You can't shove out a half assed port and expect it to sell, and it didn't.

in all seriousness, what was wrong with it? I played the first two levels without any problems without downloading the patch. Seemed fine to me. Do you think that the sales will go way up now? Cuz I seriously doubt that that was its main problem. People simply saw no reason to buy it. Some hate the reboot and its developers and others liked/loved it but already have the game, so why rebuy it?

For the record, I played and beat the ps3 version when it became available on ps+, but also bought the ps4 version day 1 to support the devlopers for, what I consider, an excellent game that they made.

This is what was wrong wrong with it.  Check out the game before patch and after patch:

Pre Patch:

After Patch

The game at release for the PS4 was an absolute mess.

I don't think it stopped people buying it at the start, but it stopped a lot of people buying it as soon as word got out.  Whether this patch is enough to make a difference now or if its too late is a different matter.
