Resident Evil has a few games with Female leads.
Metroid is pretty major too I guess, but she wears a suit.
It's not all Tomb Raider.
Metroid does a damn good job hiding it. And Resident Evil is highly, highly male dominated.
Yoshi only thinks in terms of market success.
It's disgusting.
Boo, Hiss.
Yeah, female lead will hurt sales. I don't know what Sega is expecting in sales, but the game is so good I'm sure word of mouth will help it do decently. Not expecting it to crack a million without a big sales push.

It's January, it's got a few months ahead of GoW3, and in Japan, neither of those games are relevant anyway. Honestly, I think they thought this through pretty well. January is a month where people have new systems, they beat their Christmas games, and not a lot is out.
I fully expect this to outsell DI, at least internationally.
The Japan release is still set for October. I think you're wrong about this outselling Dante's Inferno, by the way. Even taking Japan into account, I think Dante's Inferno will cream Bayonetta. So will God of War 3, if it follows the pattern of the previous installments.
