Very few games are system sellers. Most people don't buy a system for 1 particular game. Each game they want makes them a bit more likely to buy the system. People can't seem to grasp this concept.

I'm a Bayonetta fan and a Nintendo fan, so this works out great for me. Conversely, if Bayonetta was on the 720 or PS4, I'd be more likely to buy that system.

Damn right I did! Bayonetta was surprisingly one of the best action games this generation. I'm also considering The Wonderful 101, which reminds me of Veautiful Joe also made by Platinum Games. It does suck that I had to buy a Wii U early on but I'm sure that it will have some great games as it matures. I understand peoples frustration; at the same time, the game wouldn't even be coming out if it wasn't for Nintendo's vigilant efforts in publishing Bayonetta 2! We should be thankful that Nintendo is trying to appeal to the hardcore by attaining games like Bayonetta and pissed off that Sega chose to publish crappy games over something special like Bayonetta 2...

dood, the sequel was canceled until Nintendo stepped in and funded it, if it was successful, it'd be multi platform to start with. ^^; Also remember that Japan is starting to do the cross over thing more and more whereas western publishers are all trying to middle finger each other, I think we'll start to see really really good JP games again in the 8th gen where the good devs from the old days will come out with awesome stuff on all platforms, I'm hoping anyways.

That's the thing though, PS360 consumers didn't make it successful enough to warrant a sequel; SEGA declined to publish the sequel. Bayo 1 failed to crack 2 million across both PS3 and 360. It wasn't exactly a catastophic flop, but for an AAA production with stellar reviews it wasn't a hit either.

Nintendo didn't bag Bayonetta because the franchise is a goldmine; it isn't. They bagged it to make their image more "hardcore."

I love Bayonetta, but I won't play the second one. My next-gen console will probably be the ps4, and I will not buy a $300 console just to play Bayonetta 2.

Not at all and never. If anything worth playing ever releases on the Wii U I'll just steal a friends/relatives console for a few days to play it.

hey man, that's what friends are for, I do the same shit with the 360 lol. what about monster hunter though?!?!?

i love my wii u and i will buy bayonetta 2, but its hard to find a die hard bayonetta fan raised by only 1 game in the franchise.

bayonetta is no zelda,uncharted or mario.

You're being defensive, but that doesn't help the fact that the chances are high that if new consoles come this year Bayonetta is small potatoes in the short term for people who enjoyed the first Bayonetta on the PS3 and 360. A lot of people liked Bayonetta, but it doesn't mean they'll buy a console for it. Thats like asking if someone will buy a console for Ninja Gaiden just because they wanted it. Now I am not saying no one will because some might, but realistically speaking, most wont.There will have to be more than that to get people to jump to the Wii U if they have their money saved for other titles. Again, this year is stacked and it might get even more expensive for many people. I liked Bayonetta for its crazy DMC on crack-like gameplay but I find no reason for fanfare as it is an empty franchise outside gameplay stemming from of a oversexed female character with a pointless storyline. Now and I will buy a Wii U eventually and buy this...but its not worth it just for that one game. When Zelda comes out, now we're talking.
