Bayonetta franchise has not made $450 million as voice actress claims

The Bayonetta hack-and-slash game franchise has not made $450 million as voice actress Hellena Taylor claims. It's unclear where the figure came from.

Well well, how the turn tables.

[ManMarmalade]

Lol I don't think she did her research so the internet did it for her.

[SinisterMister]

lol that sounds about right

[CrimsonWing69]

Lol, no kidding. It’s a niche series. I think what she did was looked up VGChartz figures and multiplied that by $60.

[solideagle]

Games do not sell at $60 constant. That is why first few months are critical for a game's success and then sales hit sometimes 20% to 75% (depending on the game and company). In theory the figure will be lower than million unit sold * $60 in my humble opinion.

The game needs to be multiplat anyway. If it was on PS5 Series X and Still on Switch maybe the devs will be less frugal with paying everyone involved. The game shouldn't be limited to the switches way less powerful hardware. Nothing against Nintendo but being on higher quality hardware with bigger marketing this game could have been almost as popular as Devil May Cry or at least in terms of Bayonetta being a bigger name than what it is now.

[Outlawzz]

Given the fact that nintendo supported it when no other company would it definitely should be on switch and if they choose to, only on switch.

The other companies didn't care enough for it, this has been stated over and over again

[FallenAngel1984]

Even that doesn’t make sense because the series would’ve had to have at least sold 7.5 million to have made that much. Bayonetta sold less than half that amount

[gold_drake]

oh dear haha.

[EvertonFC]

Has it even made $100m ?

[JL2930]

Lol. Prolly not even half that.

[Binarycode]

Never understood the hype of these games. overrated imo.

[0hMyGandhi]

No one is conflating quality with sales, but you sure are.
Even though this series isn't really my thing, I can totally see why people love them.

[Outlawzz]

I don't even like hack and slash games and I'll say the first bayo was pretty fun. Haven't played the other two but they say they only get better.

Have you played the games ? What's overrated ? Your not saying much

[mastershredder]

It came from a warped and unstable mind spinkled with box wine chugging entitlement.

[banger88]

She should have taken up their offer. She could have bought a lot of wine for $4000.

[frostypants]

I'm tired of this stupid story. Keep the stupid business spats behind the scenes.

[-Gespenst-]

She told lies, and then promoted some pro-life bs, but regardless of how bad she is, none of this changes the fact that non-big-name voice actors aren't paid properly. Even the amount she was actually offered was still peanuts.

[autobotdan]

So she was a big fat liar? 🤔

[persona4chie]

Also since PG is just developer, would t more of the money go to Sega and Nintendo? Actually curious
