E3 is gonna be great, I feel it
Bayo 1 didn't sell well. Bayo 2 bombed.

It's happening, isn't it?
Bayonetta 2 bombed because it was a Platinum Game on the Wii U. See TW101 for further evidence. I still think the franchise has room for growth, especially with the recent success of Bayo1 on PC. A current generation release on PC/PS4/XB1 may do worthwhile numbers for Platinum. Maybe.

Considering she's in Smash I wouldn't really put it past Nintendo to fund another sequel. Do we know if Bayonetta 2 was profitable? It obviously didn't sell great but it still could have been a profitable deal.
Wait is this real?

Bayonetta 1 sadly sold mediocrely to the point the franchise was canned until Nintendo decided to fun a sequel.

It seems that the overreaction hysteria to a possible Bayo3 is also changing history!
SEGA? After seeing the success of Automata i'd say investing on Bayo 3 is a pretty good bet.

It popped up for a second during an Asian PS4 Conference like 2 years ago I think. It's real but it's definitely not actually happening.
Pretty sure that is fan made
Oh, for real? I thought somebody just made it
No one on neogaf is sleeping on platinum
It was def real but never formally announced as MGR2, it was just shown somewhere. and then I think Platinum's excuse for it was "it was the 2 year anniversary" or something.
Konami is Konami, do not get hopes up

Bayo 1 was sold at bomba bin prices, wouldnt be surprised if 2 was actually a more profitable venture
It was used in some sort of countdown a while back. People thought it was hinting at Revengeance 2. The only thing it was hinting at was the number 2.

Nah it's real I remember seeing that teaser but it was purposefully vague so it could have been and likely was anything.

How does that relate? They've been through 2 Bayonetta games that haven't sold well.
I don't think it's decided how much of Bayo 2 Nintendo holds rights to, but they could easily use assets from Bayo 1 is that was the case.
I'm doubtful Nintendo would be involved with Bayonetta 3, but it's possible. The Bayo 1 port to PC shows Sega is clearly ready to invest in the series again
If that's the case, I'm surprised Konami didn't greenlight a MGR2. Relatively low risk.

why?
bayo 2 was not a success ,so it's not automtic that nintendo would want a sequel,and if it's not them,sega it's a third party publisher
Bayonetta 2 bombed because it's a niche game for a hardcore audience. It already bombed on PS360, and it won't suddenly be better on PS4/One unless they do some changes within the formula. And I don't think Bayonetta 2 sales pumped in any hopes for SEGA to fund a sequel, after cancelling B2's development.
My take is that if it exists it won't be from SEGA. They have no interest in losing money.
do you know the numbers?

Bayo 2 was incredibly hard to find.
I manage to get the last copy with Bayo 1 at my target. Think they reprinted it with Smash DLC. So I can't tell if Nintendo were happy with sales.
In any case I'm sure they were happy having a critically acclaimed game at least.

Here's the thread when it happened:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=983000
Here's the sequel:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=983645
It sold over a million, not bad for a new IP from a then mostly unknown developer.
It definitely has potential to grow if it is released on the proper platforms.
You know how much Bayo 2 sold? Serious question
Don't think anyone is. They release and revealed at least one game every year since 2013. I expect a reveal to happen again this year even if it doesn't happen at e3.

It sold 100k on pc what exactly is the point of a current gen port. Your not making sense.
Yes and Sega still canned the sequel. That's my point. The question would be if Sega suddenly decided to change their mind but Nintendo owns the rights to two so creating a sequel to 2 will be difficult since very few people actually bought the game.
I guess this is the reason the game sequel was greenlighted so quick and without much hassle... wait.

That was bad for a new IP is Sega didn't want to find a sequel...
It seems so obvious for them to make Rising 2. Other than ports or remakes of the mainline games, it's one of the few solid ways they can keep making Metal Gear without completely pissing off the super fans. And with Platinum, it's surely going to be a pretty good production. Although Scalebound did happen so I don't know.
Neither did the first NiEr yet here we are. There is clearly demand for action games right now and Bayonetta has bigger brand recognition than NiEr.
You're right, compared to other Japanese developers, we don't have to wait a billion years for a Platinum release.
Please no.

Hope it's Switch exclusive just to see the reaction again. People went crazy over Bayo 2 on Wii U. It was insane.

bayo 1 did 1.2 mln if i remember..plus the 100k sold on steam in the last weeks
not a success,not a "didn't sell well" either
to put it in perspective,bayo 1 didn't went too far from dmc4's numbers..and that was an established franchise on 2 consoles...bayo 1 was also on 2 consoles but one was an horrible port.
68k 1st month, 157k in 5 months, in the US. Not official, but coming from reliable sources within GAF :

Bayo 2 definitely sold like garbage but I could totally see them giving it another try after Smash Bros
Will pick it up whatever it ends up on (well....unless it's on like Neo Geo or something as that's a pretty big investment)

Not sure why they would be thirsty after how Bayo2 and W101 sold.

Seriously though I'm surprised this is being funded at all, I don't think Bayo2 was that great in terms of sales. Not that I'm complaining.

What
DMC4 basically doubled Bayo 1s numbers in it's launch year. That game sold like 4 times the amount of copies that Bayo 1 did.
