Japanese Bayonetta launch: PS3 version outsells 360 SKU
According to launch day figures obtained by Sankaku Complex, the PlayStation 3 version of Bayonetta has outsold that of it’s Xbox 360 compatriot in Japan.
The PS3 version sold over 93k, while the 360 SKU sold over 45k at launch on Thursday.
We should know more concrete numbers for the game in it’s first week, when the full software charts for the week go live in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The game was pegged for a January 2010 Western release last week.

Indeed. Probably would have been big news if it had been the other way though.
On a different note… fairly average sales for both versions. Seems that maximum score didn’t exactly set the Japanese public’s heart racing.

duh, still kinda sad though.
@ Psychotext 93 000 on the first day – average?

My bad, I thought they were first week sales. Skim reading FTL.

I think it’s probably more of a surprise that the 360 version managed to sell 45,000 copies when there’s a PS3 version available the same day!

Heh – seems I’m not the only one who was surprised. Apparently the 360 version sold out in a lot of places.
