Talk:Bayonetta 2/@comment-70.180.87.95-20140925202721/@comment-1661895-20140926111352

Looking at it from all the information about Bayonetta 2's development we know, the chances of a sequel coming out really don't depend too hardly on sales in this instance. Platinum took no financial risk making this game because Nintendo were the ones who financed the entire project, so they were just happy to make a game that they had wanted to for a long time before SEGA's financial issues made them stop. And Nintendo aren't going to face any real repurcussions if the game doesn't sell fantastically because they have so much capital saved up that they could make substantial losses up until 2050 without any real problems. The real meat of whether a Bayonetta 3 is possible would be down to the demand of fans who play Bayonetta 2 and the general reception of the game as a whole is what I personally think.

As for how well it'll sell, I've seen numerous places all over the internet that have stated that Bayonetta 2 is one of the main reasons they will purchase a Wii U, along with Nintendo's upcoming line-up for the rest of the year and the beginning of 2015. As I mentioned in my previous post, I was one of the lucky ones to reserve a First Print Edition when it was available because it sold out in a matter of hours. Plus, with all the copies of the Special Edition that people are going for to get 2 games in one, I have a good feeling that despite the smaller install base for the Wii U, the game will actually do fairly alright.
