Hmmmm... Sega today has announced that Bayonetta, the Platinum Games' developed stylish action title for the Xbox 360/PS3, will get a bit of a delayed release in Western markets (North America, EU, etc.). The Japanese date is October 29th 2009, but in North America, it is confirmed that we won't see it until January 2010.
"Bayonetta is an extremely important new IP for SEGA and adds a new level of depth to our growing portfolio. As a result of market analysis we have taken a Publishing decision that January 2010 is the optimum release time in the Western Markets to maximize this exciting new title's potential," said Mike Hayes, President and COO for SEGA West.
Yes, there are some big games hitting towards the end of 2009, but with more and more titles shifting to early 2010, it's not like there won't be any competition then as well. Missing the Holiday season doesn't ever seem like the best of ideas, so we'll see.
oh well, more time for me i guess

I'm seriously considering importing, if that's the case.
-
I'll never get this.
Pre-xmas sales should always be greater than post xmas. :dizzy
-
fewer and fewer games are coming out in 2009. On the other hand, 2010 is going to be awesome.
If the import is full English and region free on 360, I might consider importing

Oh crap, '09's Fall lineup is getting less and less interesting for me by the day :-\
The only thing I'm even remotely interested in is Uncharted 2. Quick, someone remind me of a potential AAA Fall title that is not a shooter.
The Beatles: Rock Band
Lego Rock Band
Rock Band: Metal Track Pack
Guitar Hero 5
Guitar Hero: Van Halen
Band Hero
DJ Hero

No big deal, will import. Doubtful it will be region-free on 360, guys. Japanese games almost never are.
This might just be an excuse for them to not be as let down by the game's sales when it bombs. Probably looks better selling a few copies post-holiday season than during it.

I'll be in the Nihons when this comes out. Will buy it for PS3, unless the 360 version is region-free.

AGAAAAAIN, most 360 games are region-locked in Japan. Get ready to use Play-Asia a lot or head down to Aki for over-priced imports.

Will buy on PS3. Region-free. Bam.

Yes, yes. Unless you want to go PS3 for everything, it's gonna be IMPORT TIME!

It's crazy how much 2009 is being thinned out.
Right now my purchases for the rest of the year are:
SD Gundam G Generation Wars (PS2)
Mobile Suit Gundam UC 0081
Macross Ultimate Frontier
Katamari Forever
Beatles Rock Band
Uncharted 2
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Demon's Souls
Brutal Legend
Assassin's Creed 2 (Probably wait for a price drop, though)
Still a lot of games, but so much easier on the wallet than previous years!
-
DR2 hasnt had a confirmed date, why are people listing it.
-
As long as Arkham Asylum hits this fall I'm happy.
-
Good decision by Sega, would have bombed hard otherwise.
-
Oh shit!! :o

If you really need Bayonetta just go buy DMC4... it was GOTY you know
-
This game will now sell 14 copies instead of 17. Make that 11 copies if reviewers start with "it's haaaaard, even on easy"
either way, one copy will be mine!

Motion sickness ahoy. Game looks pretty damn brutal. :o
