What suprises me is that P* decides to develope Bayonetta for the 360 as an exclusive. Isn't the PS3 much more popular in Japan? I mean based from what I understood, the sales in Japan (regardless of the claimed superior version of the game), more copies of the PS3 version of Bayonetta have been sold by a lot. I know that P* is a small company and may not have had money or whatever the reason, it still is a bit shocking having a japanese company develop for an american console that isn't even popular in their own reigon.

A small team with limited resources would be more likely to want to develop on the 360 for the fact that it is simply easier to develop for. It means spending less money making the game. An unfortunate reality in today's gaming market. The small teams are struggling and dying.

That is a reasonable explination, but regardless of this, it is still (well at least for me idk about the rest on this board) a bit strange to have been developed with little appeal to the western reigon to the 360. So far after analyzing this, I find Sega's decisions to be responsible for not investing enough money to P* to make Bayonetta for both the PS3 and 360 instead of originally making it an exlusive and then all of a sudden porting it. I guess Sega didn't think Bayonetta would be a pretty good success. Hoefully now P* will be able to develop some game for the PS3.

You're right. That's why Sega insisted on a PS3 version of the game as well. It seems that for whatever reason P* wouldn't develop it, however, and Sega went ahead with a half-assed port for sales. Money grab ftl.

This didn't have to become System Wars fodder. People wonder why the rule's there about discussion of other systems, and it's threads like this that show it.
