By your logic all games should be on PC.

To a greater extent all games should be designed to run on a super computer.

God of War is just an exaggerated homage to what Greek mythology was. Based on a screwed up family who controlled the balance of how things worked on the planet above the likes of human kind while struggling with Titans. Kratos is just a character whose story is a mixture of hercules and other characters. This could easily be recreated and people would believe it because Zeus was a whore of a god, who caused bastard children to be born. It gave birth to the notion of a hero, because of course gods cannot be heroes. This is the reason why heroes (Yes..heroes) like Kratos, Perseus, Hercules and others had to exist. Heroes did what had to be done, bloody and all...not what was right. Kratos is a homage to that truth. People have a romanticized view of Greek mythology just as they do with Disney movies until they read the actual Grimms brothers tales. If you want a fucked up TV show about dystunctional families look no further than Greek Mythology.

The idea of a superhero comes from Greek mythology but is a romanticized American idealized version of it, no different than Disney stories which were much darker than one would've thought. Do you think little kids would've been allowed to watch Snow White if they knew the Queen had Snow White become a fugitive because she wanted to kill her and consume her heart, thus claiming the beauty of her essence?

I think they just wanted to have a more diverse lineup and to appeal to the 'hardcore' more than thinking about similar games on competing consoles

Kratos fits the personality of a typical Greek mythological demi-god who is searching for revenge. Seriously...read greek mythology and see if what I am saying is so far fetched. Bayonetta...I just play the game to tell you the truth..lol. No offense to the story, but I cannot wait to play Part 2.

This and its also easier to get Japanese third parties to work with them than the western ones who put their foot down with Nintendo.

Implying God of war is a threat

Its the highest selling hack n slash of all time. God of War would have nothing to fear from Bayonetta.

Not at all. Nintendo couldn't and wouldn't try coming up with an alternative to God of War, it dominates its genre by a significant margin commercially and critically, nothing in the genre will ever come close to the GoW Trilogy.

Okay they prodbbaly did, but everything that is in B2 was doen by Platinum.

Doesn't mean B1 is significantly worse. Both games are near perfection.

I don't think Nintendo plays that game. They just focus on having as much high quality exclusive content as possible. But they can't match game for game against the all in one devices.
