    Bayonetta 3 Surpasses 1.04 Million Copies Sold

    Plenty of copies sold since the October release.

    In the Q3 FY 2023 financial earnings report, Nintendo has finally announced how many copies Bayonetta 3 has sold! The title has sold over 1 million copies since it launched on October 28, 2022. 

    This is a bit lower than most were probably expecting, however, it has already matched the numbers of Bayonetta 2 on Nintendo Switch, with that title selling through 1.04 million copies in its lifetime. 

    The title was developed by PlatinumGames, who is known for their work on the Bayonetta series, NieR: Automata, and Metal Gear Rising, which is set to have a 10th anniversary special later this month.

    A description of the title is available below:

    The witch is back and more powerful than ever!

    Bayonetta struts through multiple locations in an all-new, over-the-top climax action game. Sporting a wicked new ensemble and somehow familiar pigtails, the titular Umbra Witch must face a mysterious evil using her signature guns and time-slowing Witch Time ability. This time, invading manmade bioweapons called Homunculi find themselves in Bayonetta’s crosshairs.

    Tap into Bayonetta’s naughtier side with Demon Masquerade, a new ability that channels the demon linked to her weapon allowing for some exciting action options, not to mention some hair-raising combos. She can also summon her demonic darlings like Gomorrah, Malphas, and Phantasmaraneae during battle, unleashing their demonic powers in the heat of combat and in new, larger-than life battles where you directly control the action.
