Well this is no major surprise. It's just a little sad really that such a great game won't sell very well.
Bayonetta has never sold strongly on any system, including Playstation and Xbox. It is a niche game, it's as simple, (and as tragic) as that.

You should remember that Bayonetta 1 doesn´t even reach 1 million on X360 (0.91m Vgchartz) and was released on a 80m userbase console years ago. Bayo 2 is around 400k on less than 3 months on a barely 9m userbase console. Don´t blame Nintendo owners taste if the game is niche here, on ps3, on xbox 360 and everywhere, still has the chance to hit 1m someday too on a console with maybe only 18m sold.

I hope he will now, but he has to do some huge holiday adjustments anyway.

Not really. At least, not Platinum. They manage to keep on trucking along despite underwhelming-to-dreadful sales (and that's regardless of platform), so I don't think it matters much to them how much they sell. They seem to get paid up front.
But this isn't surprising. It was obvious that Bayonetta 2 was way, way overtracked.
Nobody should be surprised. This was obvious from the very first day the game was announced as exclusive.

If PS4 and Xbox One are what happens when thrid parties get their way, and SNES is what happens when they're controlled, then call me biased if you like, but I vote that they should be controlled.

And nobody knows why.... They must be really cheap to get, wonder what an average programmer at Platinum makes.

Oooops! bayo 1 did 200k in the us on the 360 after 18 months. it did 150k on the ps3 in that same time. a year from now. 135k after three months isn't that bad. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=147695672&postcount=1936
