If anyone believes Bayonetta is worth $450 million then you're a fucking idiot. Series never hits 2 million per entry. Maybe if they re-release it a dozen times then yeah an entry might hit 2 million or more. IF the series was worth 450 million YEN that I can believe which puts it at close to $3 million. Platinum would not be struggling with cash if they had a half billion dollar franchise and Nintendo would not need to be the ones funding it's existence. They would not need a loan to self publish.
So that right there was Hellena's first lie of several.
