Damn Bayonetta. I expected more from the 360 ver at least. Hopefully it has a better February.

Wait, then what was the point of the Bayonetta (PS3)>Bayonetta 360 >Tatsunoko vs. Capcom > No More Heroes 2 analogy?

One multiplatform game was out for 4 weeks as opposed to two games that were out for 4 days.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

That means Madworld outsold Bayonetta PS3 it's first NPD btw, even with 1 week less of sales.

AAAUGH

I wish these guys would make a game that could sell. I'm half afraid that publishers will look at NPD numbers and go "Nope, not touching this"

Well, at least retailers bought it up. I mean, those 1.1 million copies will have to go one way or another.


I just wonder how they convinced retailers to stock that much. Crazy.

I'm surprised MadWorld outsold Bayonetta PS3 and got close-ish to the 360 version.

Boobies are very distracting.

They can send them back and get their money if they got a huge stock that's not moving you know.

Not all the time, the contract when ordering stock isn't uniform between retailers and publishers.

i'm not, there was a lack of core games for the wii in 2009, the game was well received and the wii has 2.5x more userbase than the PS3, yet it barely outsold Bayonetta PS3, which was released in January, with actual COMPETITION, with games such as Darksiders, Mass Effect, and others to compete for sales.

MadWorld released around the time KZ2, Halo Wars, and RE5 did. Not seeing your point.

none of those games were on the wii... thanks for proving my point.

Yeah, because there totally wouldn't be a lot of multiconsole owners who would have to choose between games...

@ Gansito - ^ This + if you discount these games because they were not on the Wii, why do you mention Mass Effect which is on the 360 as affecting Bayonetta on the PS3? No need for an answer, this was a rhetorical question.
