Bayonetta 3 confirmed as an NX exclusive
Wii U owners confirmed for good taste in vidya
Because Wii U had(has) no other games.
>tfw don't blindly support a multi-billion dollar company that doesn't care about me
>tfw I bought a Wii U solely for Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2
>tfw I already have a PS4 and will gladly buy an NX for Platinum games
Dong Freeze was bretty good too, it sucks that Nintendo games are terrible now.
>original sells 2m
>sequel sells half of that
Bayonetta 3 confirmed never happening
>>336378971
>Original has 160 million potential buyers only 2m buy it
>Sequel only has 13 million potential buyers, less than 10%, and it still sells more than the 360 version
>people are still mad that it's never going to be on the PS4 or XBONE, and PC people don't care because of emulation
>platinum will become a Nintendo studio after scalebound and nier do less than expected numbers
>>336379502
Higher numbers are still higher. It doesn't matter if 100% of WiiU owners buy something if that number is less than whatever portion of the other console install base buys it. As long as the development costs are the same, whatever SOLD MORE is going to be the better business choice.
>>336379875
But if we go by attatch rates and use the current hardware sales
PS4 would be sitting at .5-6m
XBONE would be at .2m
That's like saying we're not getting an MK9 because MKWii sold 33m but MK8 only sold 6m
>>336379502
>platinum will become a Nintendo studio after scalebound and nier do less than expected numbers
Unlikely.
They're independent because they wanted to do their own thing without being pressured by higher ups like they were as Clover Studios in Capcom's clutches.
Activision is still giving them jobs even after Korra was received poorly and so we got Transformers and the upcoming TMNT from them.
Pretty sure they're gonna be independent for as long as they can be.
That being said, IIRC they promised Bayonetta news in 2016 so we'll see something from that soon.
>>336378901
Same with bloodborne at release, there was nothing to play during those months, the playerbase was already at 20m, its a spinoff from the new hot memetic franchise and yet it couldnt even sell 3m.
>>336380963
Shocking news faggot but multiplatform games are games and thats what most of the player base play
>>336381103
It's not like the Souls series isn't mainstream, there's no reason why it should have sold that little
Are people still salty after 10 years?
>>336378614
Nintendo stole our game. Fucking thieves. Platinum betrayed us.
>>336380860
Korra was damn well recieved for a western tv tie-in game.
>PS3 version was a mess at launch reduced the amount of people who would put up with it
>Xbox only likes dudebro shit
>one out of two games WiiU had that year
Solved.
>>336380963
>nothing to play
>another multiplats aren't games memer
>>336378614
>glosses over the fact that the Ps3 had the WORST version of the game, and had the most competition for it in terms of sheer library of games on the console, yet it's the version that still sold the most
>>336380860
>They're independent because they wanted to do their own thing without being pressured by higher ups like they were as Clover Studios in Capcom's clutches.
Clover Studios was exactly what they're doing now, except they were funded by Capcom. All projects developed under Clover were projects the staff wanted to do, how they wanted to do it. Capcom created Clover Studios so that their top talent could create games without interference from executives.
The studio was closed down because none of the games produced profited enough to justify the studio remaining open. The staff was going to be reabsorbed back into Capcom to work on projects determined by the higher ups. That is when Clover split to form Platinum.

>PS3 version was a mess at launch
>AT LAUNCH
The patch only fixed the loading times. It's still capped at 30 fps and rarely even hits 30 fps. The PS3 version is one of the worst ports of all time.
Smash Probably boosted sales for Bayonetta.
+ You do get 2 games fro the price of one.
So many people did buy it because of this.
>>336385621
>PS3 version is one of the worst ports of all time.
It's a bad port but don't be ridiculous. It doesn't belong on that list. To be on that list, you had to have done something incredibly catastrophic to the original source material.
>>336379502
>Original was a brand new IP without huge advertising
>On two platforms with lots of other good games
>Was released in a season with a lot of high profile games
>>336385794
>you had to have done something incredibly catastrophic to the original source material.
Running at less than half the framerate with lower quality settings and load times that are 3 minutes long is catastrophic.
>ps3 80m base
>80 m xbox base
Nigga you realize that game came in 2009 late januar 2010 right?
It wasnt 80m million for any of them also stop with these number+number comparisons because its utrerly faggotic.
Many people had both 360 and ps3 for exclusive games unlike Bone and Ps4
>>336385794
The port wasn't even handled by platinum, that is why it was such a mess. Platinum came in later to fix what Sega did, and even then they couldn't make it work 100%.
>>336380835
Sonyggers don't buy games and not a single ps4 game has sold more than halo 5
>>336378614
>1.2m on PS3
Is this true? Did a million people really buy that shitty version that runs at 15fps?
>>336386279
Did Microsoft ever release the actual numbers?
Everything list Halo 5 and Halo 5 accessories.
>>336386381
No one in Japan owns an Xbox
>>336386558
The 360 version outsold the PS3 version in Japan.
Imagaine if this game was multiplat, it would have much more on the other systems.
