Sorry for butting in, but that's incredibly depressing considering the relative hype Bayonetta received prior to release. I'm more used to amazing but badly-advertised games like Baten Kaitos Origins and Beyond Good and Evil being ignored.

That said, I hope the industry can cut a balance between drawing in casual players (via Nintendo's approach) and continuing to develop well-illustrated, challenging, and...well, original games while keeping itself afloat. Who knows where it'll go from here.
