First of all, the difference is that volleyball premise was specifically an excuse to get the girls in bikinis.  Let's not pretend otherwise. I mean, they have a "butt battle" mode. When the scenario is designed specifically to give gamers a chance to ogle the characters, that's sexualization. There's a reason this isn't Dead of Alive Xtreme Soccer.

Second of all, it's not a matter of better story, it's a matter of the character actually having development and personality beyond "look tits". Wanting to win a game tells us very little about what kind of a person someone is. Going to hell to rescue your friend tells you a lot about what kind of person Bayonetta is. We also see through the story that she can be nurturing, clever, and compassionate. Being a tease is just one part of her personality, but there's actually others. 

Honestly... if you don't think this...

Is more sexualized than this...

Then that's a you problem.

In DOAX from what I know theres a photoshoot mode. Thats a pretty good reason for women to act sexy. But of course the game is made because sex sells and the developers just wanted to make a sexy game. Not denying that. They really have no reason to do the sexy things they do for any reason than sex sells. 

However, if Bayonetta is such a deep character compared to the ones I mentioned, then why does she act in that sexy way? What is her motivation for doing so? What in her background made her that way?

...or was this also just because sex sells?

Because she likes doing sexy things. Again, I never said she was not a sexual character. I just said that's only part of her character, and really not the biggest part.

But you said she's the most sexualized characters... And again, she's not fighting other girls with her butt, climbing rocks in skirts so you can get an upskirt view, posing on beds for your entertainment, etc. You can't dress her up and pose her however you like. Most of the time she's doing things that really aren't sexual at all. As opposed to in DOA Xtreme 3, where that's literally all they do. 

Again, if you can't see the difference between Bayonetta and the girls in the trailer, that's a you problem.
