Bayonetta platinum, Mario & Sonic sells 5.67 million

@knoxyknight "Your right man, its great children play video games. Pre pubescent kids swearing on every online game I play, and developers releasing shovelware and making games simplistic and easy because they know kids will buy it is great for the gaming industry. Games are too easy these days, I don't have a problem with casual games unless thats all there is, and thats quickly becoming the case. Just today I heard that Dead Space 2 is going to have "modern warefare level action" or some crap like that and that your going to be super powerful, as if dead space 1 wasn't easy enough. I don't hate mw2 but dead space 2 is supposed to be horror, not run and gun bs." Clever use of sarcasm. Ha. -_- I'm not going to pretend that those aren't two big issues. Like you said; Microsoft DOES need to get their act together and start moderating their online community better. And Nintendo DOES need to figure out that saying "yes" to every game that comes out just isn't the way to go. However, I'd like you to think about how in most of the 80's, the entire population of gamers were pretty much all kids. Then I'd like you to watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9joAb4XMaUs Come back and tell me this video isn't right. Seriously I dare you.

maan I LOVE this game... I bought it for the PS3 when it launched and the frame issues and loading times didn't really bother me... Then I bought my 360 version (since just recently I got myself a 360! haha) and it got even better!! the visuals are stunning... Best action game I EVER played... but that's just my opinion of course... I think its that kind of game that you either love or hate... 'cause the reason for some not to like it is ONLY style, since technically it has almost no flaws in terms of combat, replayability and overall controls... Although I saw some remarks regarding the speed of the manual camera, which if some just took the time to go through the menus they'll see that the speed of the camera can be increased... and other remarks are about the cutscenes... well, ahmm.. skip it! (RT+Back for quick skipping)

Who ever says Bayonetta is not a good game is completely out of there minds, this is by far the best action game i ever played the combat system is very smooth, there's tons of combos and her ability's come on man, Witch Time, Witch Walking and The Bat Within those are just a few to name in the heroins arsenal. Yall need to stop kidding your selves 4real. I can't wait for the sequel.

@Seiki_sands: I honestly can't imagine why people hate Bayonetta (aside from whatever issues they've only READ about) I thought it was a great game all around, and it's been getting the most play time out of all my PS3 games.

@Fandango_Letho You say video game sales websites report 400k+ sales for Bayonetta, which you apparently believe over the publisher numbers. Sega-Sammy Holdings is a publicly traded company, wouldn't lying on their financial reports open them up to lawsuits? I highly doubt they're not telling the truth. I'm more worried about how the numbers break down by region, as it would be awful to me if Bayonetta 2 were released, but not localized.

Bayonetta has a surprising amount of people who strongly dislike it given how supremely well it controls, the challenge it presents on its higher difficulties, the depth of its combat system, and the high quality of its production values (at least on the 360, which is all I can speak to). I'm curious, to the people who don't like it, do you generally like action- beat em up games like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry? If you do generally like beat em ups, but dislike Bayonetta, is it because of a style issue, as some indicated? Personally, I think Ninja Gaiden Black is still the best beat em up I've played, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Bayonetta is the best I've played this generation.

@wiidsduelpack Ya know, it's been so long that I don't even remember what I wrote, but you seem kinda upset about it.

Alot of opinions flying around, but personally I'm scared to show my opinions!:(

Bayonetta gets best game of the year in my book. I mean you cant say one bad thing about the game.

i love bayonetta she is cool and smart.

@melty3219 Garbage? Bayonetta, Aliens VS Predator, Sonic The Hedgehog, Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles, House of the Dead, Crazy Taxi, Madworld, Super Monkey Ball, Virtua Tennis, Condemned, Armored Core, Worms 3D, Phantasy Star, Virtua Fighter, Shinobi, Ecco The Dolphin, Jet Set Radio, Tenchu, Shenmue, Sega Rally, Otogi...just a small glimpse of what Sega has brought us through the years so STFU.

Bayonetta- not my kind of game, but that doesn't mean others can't enjoy it. @melty3219 look at your profile emblem. It's from a game that is trash, but still sells well.

Be slient Zerosumgame! Bayonetta is a great game. I'd easily include it among the ranks of Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry anyday.

bayonetta is designed for the weak in mind.

According to videogame sales websites,, Bayonetta sold 420,000 units worldwide on both consoles. That's pretty weak, honestly, especially considering its a japanese game. It's not '' selling well '' in my book.Sales bellow 1M units arent '' Platinum ''. Unless games that sells like MW2, Halo, Super Mario and such that ranks 15M and more gets awards like '' Multi-Awesome-Hardcornium''

I hated Bayonetta!!! Couldn't tolerate it for more than an hour. It's way to japanese for me. That's why I bought a 360 instead of a PS3... more western games than jap games.

i like alot anime and i still think bayonetta sucks..........

Bayonetta sucks balls man, only if you are a anime and japanese bullcrap lover you'll enjoy this, the music SUCKS a lot. SEGA should die.

I'm really glad Bayonetta is selling well. It's a truly fun game that deserves all the accolades it gets. Oh, and @Blacklake89, the PS3 version of Bayonetta's been patched so the gameplay experience is much smoother than it was when the game was first released, though the 360 version is probably still smoother and cleaner-looking. Mario and Sonic...well, my kids love it at any rate.

still need to buy Bayonetta - just been too skint since Christmas so far(!) Besides, I want Aliens VS Predator, Bioshock 2 and God of War 3 before I get Bayonetta, so it will have to wait. At least it should have come down in price by then.

i can't wait to buy bayonetta enjoyed the demo.

@tripwolf your absolutly right there!! its crud with the worst script that reeks with cheese everytime someone opens their mouth, the loading and breaking in the action after every tiny little set peice was a joke..atop many other things..

+1 for girl whos cloth is make out of her hair :P

Happy ti see Sega bouncing back, even though I don't remember buying a Sega game since Condemned, and although a great franchise, it doesn't really feel Seeegaaaa!

Buying used games also creates the same effect. If your a gamer of used games, then don't complain if there is no sequel. Developers need every penny of the sale of a game to make a sequel.

@ibanezdropd Buying a game when it price goes down, does not help developers. All it does is create bankruptcy if every gamer did that. Developers need every penny of a game to create a sequel or just forget about a sequel.

I was very impressed with Bayonetta. I will admit that I was extremely sceptical and didn't even really want to rent it but I gave it a shot in the dark since our rental store here doesn't have the best selection. I was amazed by it and spent 5 days enjoying the non-stop action.

@Vividnightmare powerstone is capcom :P sega is awesome will buy afterburner climax

bayonetta awesome...great game play...SEGA hell yeah!!

Wish sega would bring back the titles that really made it's consoles interesting. Bring back SHENMUE d@mmit! And what about Power Stone? Omikron? D2?Bayonetta is the perfect example that segas best endevours are the ones that just don't fit. Bayonetta is great, but it's totally different than most other combat games of the same genre in execution and art. Bring back the off the wall Sega titles!

@ DEATH775 No, people who dislike Bayonetta just don't like the game. Simple as that. Some people just dislike the blatant sex appeal, I tried the game, got bored fast. Just not as good as the Hype says. It's called an opinion, nothing wrong with that. Saying that they don't know how to appreciate it is just ... Ugh.

@Onetwoindo Because Resident Evil 4 is so realistic....Oh wait hold on I need to roundhouse kick a zombie that's really a parasite infected Spaniard. (Not that I think any Resident Evil is bad. Just that your comment is silly).

Bayonetta was a great game, better than anything they released recently (looks at sonic)

Most of sega titles are B string forgettable games this is why they are having trouble.... Oh and the same guy that did DMC did Bayonetta so its not like they got something new and all.... tho it is better than the last DMC title... hey sega get the people that did Mega man ledgens and Maximo and show capcom how its done!

Good job Sega. I would love to see another Bayonetta. I played it on a Ps3 slim and never ran into any problems others had, thanks for a wonderful game!!! hope AvsP is good too!!!!

Yay! Bayonetta 2 is now possible!

aliens: colonial marines is the only game i am looking forward to rite now from sega... they better not screw that up for ps3 as they did with bayonetta ps3 port...not like i care much for bayonetta since i am not buying it anyways as i am not into these type of games... just that i think these guys should focus on properly developing a game & testing it before release so there wont be any issues... just hoping that aliens: colonial marines doesnt end up as another bad port ...other than a:cm ..sega doesnt have anything that interests me...

new Sega games like Bayonetta are so great because of their great choice in development studios like Platinum Games.. housing members that worked on classic games like DMC and Okami, there other game Madworld i also an amazing game, though a bit too short. though i have to say i'll be happy when their 4 game deal with Sega has ended, the marketing for Madworld was horrible, and they almost ruined Bayonetta when they converted the 360-developed game onto the PS3 with pretty much nothing but bugs from what i've heard

Bayonetta 2 pleeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Onetwoindo, you're an idiot.

Bayoneta is a bit defrent from all a SEGAs games it is fantastic, fun ,& they used a lot of magenation , if U havent played it yet go get it , it worth eavery penny

bayonetta is alot better than i thought it was going to be. lets hope that the next bayonatta is as good or better!

nice too bad that is consoly only :(

any game is unrealistic

very unrealistic games..come on guys grow up

Bayonetta Platinum cool :D

Great! I have it still in plastic waiting for me to complete Mass Effect 2 and some day maybe get a little bit tired on the best game ever Demon's Souls.

I guess the people who said that bayonetta was bad, just didn't know how to appreciate the game. Can't wait for another Bayonetta game.
