Ahh thanks genius

Bayonetta2 (92/00 metascore) sold 600k

Splatoon (81/100 Metascore) sell >1m in 3 weeks

 

Please explaiiiiiin this nonsense?

 

Splatoon in realistic graphics and rated m would sell ALOT less. We would be probl. at 200k now.

Bayonetta is a niche game with a small fanbase that is mainly on the other consoles. The first game didn't exactly light the charts up either. Splatoon got the AAA marketing treatment and is more mainstream. Art style didn't sell that game. 

Yeah a game at 2 mio sold units for the predecessor, sold bundeld with the first game for moderate price, which got marketing like: cosplay in playboy magazine and tv commercials cant compete with a new ip which got a kids/squid advertisment. okay.

Both game had the same range. Dont try to find excuses that dont exist. Splatoon sold that good because its cartoony and rated e. Most wii u Owners are kids and they dont play realisitc looking rated m games.
