segaAnother publisher has revealed their Q3 2009 financials, this time it was Sega's turn to crunch the numbers. They've gotta be pretty pleased with this outcome - two of their games sold seven digits for the quarter.

 

For Bayonetta, the publisher reports that their new action game has sold 1,100,000 worldwide on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. An impressive number, but pales in comparison to Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, which sold 5,760,000 copies on the Wii and DS.

 

Also worth noting is Football Manager 2010 with 740,000 copies sold, while the Japan-only cameo-fest Phantasy Star Portable 2 got a respectable 540,000.

looks like bayonetta can't beat the force of mario and sonic combined.

new games usually have a hard time compared to an established franchise.

i believe that bayonetta has a long way ahead of it, but the game is solid and the people like it.

This is a pretty good game, but, my PS3 couldn't handle the game. The 360, however, can play the game beautifully.

The Ps3 couldn't handle the game?
If it was the other way around I would consider your comment.
but that was just stupid talk.

and I'm not a fanboy. I have both consoles.

Was it really the PS3 not being able to handle Bayonetta? :-* Here's a thought: the makers of the game weren't able to fully utilize the PS3.

When you have software like Game of the Year winner Uncharted 2 out there, I'm pretty sure the PS3 can more than handle Bayonetta.

sega decided to back one of the worst gaming titles in history since it came to 3d graphics alien vs. predator that game will surly be a flop every time those names appear for a 3d title it usually doesn't do well. The Movies have gone down hill, OH JUST LET IT BE(Dead)
Im Pretty Sure It Only did well on the og game boy and maybe the pc version

Good for Mario and Sonic! I hope Bayonetta burns in the pits of hell.

The only reason people bought the game, is to see the main character "exposed". Worshiping a virtual "woman" is not healthy kids.

Judging books by the cover.

As a matter of fact, most people found bayonetta to not be sexy at all.
