Yeah, and after that, sales for the first game petered out. Wonderfulmonkeyman 2569d ago (Edited 2569d ago LOL and Dark Platinum has been known for making exclusives for each company as of late, Nier for Ps4, Scalebound for Xbox, Bayonetta and W101 for Wii U. Nintendo will probably foot the bill for part 3 and we'l get the next one as a NX exclusive. Personally I consider both Bayonetta and Bloodborne higher quality games than Splatoon, atleast IMO, but they are both Niche compared to some genres and it becomes clear in the end when you look at the sales It also helps that Platinum didn't spend a cent on development of the game, was pure profit for them. It becomes plainly clear that Bayonetta is Niche when you see Nintendo's other games like Splatoon, outsell Halo 5 and Bloodborne. Bayonetta is also a Niche game that just was never going to sell gangbusters anyway, especially considering how poorly it did with the massive install bases of the 360 and ps3. There's plenty of other worthwhile games on the Wii U, though, so if you DO get a Wii U for Bayonetta 2, you'll still have plenty of other games to consider alongside it.Įphex03 2568d ago (Edited 2568d ago Ps3 alone has install base of 80+ million and Bayonetta one only sold 1.2 million over it's entire lifetime, Bayonetta 2 is already about to match that on the Wii U in 20 months time with 1/8th the install base. Platinum has no say in it even Hideki Kamiya himself said so. I hate breaking the heart of a fellow Bayonetta fan, but the situation behind Bayonetta 2, is that Nintendo basically bought that entry.Įvery last cent of its production budget was paid for out-of-pocket by Nintendo, so without Nintendo's say-so, you'll never see it on PS4. Wii U did this on an install base of just 13 million."Īnd not only that, the original version was on systems that were on the market for over 7 years, meaning it had a lot longer to gain a strong following, while the Wii U is only lasting a little over 4 years, yet Bay 2 still managed to hit the milestone despite all the hate surrounding the system this gen.Ĭongrats indeed Bayonetta is very much appreciated by Nintendo Brian "Bayonetta on PS3 sold just over 1 million on an install base of 80+ million.
