Ladies and gentlemen, the incomprehensible has happened — Platinum Games has released a … a … apopulargame!
Bayonettahas sold over one million copies. 1,100,000, to be exact, officially making the Sega-published sex romp a success. Platinum Games is known for making great games that don’t sell, so this is pretty fantastic news. Considering a lot of this studio worked onOkami, it’s as close to justice as we may get.
Bayonettawas not Sega’s most popular third quarter game. No, that honor goes toMario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. BecauseBayonetta‘s success instills one with a little faith in humanity, theMario & Sonicsuccess exists to remind us not to havetoomuch faith.
Football Manager 2010was third with 740,000 sales, followed byPhantasy Star Portablewith 540,000. So, generally a good year for Sega. WithAliens vs. PredatorandSonic 4coming this year, here’s hoping Sega manages to pull it off again.
I also think it’s interesting to note that Platinum found its success after giving up on the Wii and putting its games on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Really, a studio like Platinum should have been doing this from the start.
