Yup exactly. Worked out well for all of us. Which is awesome. 

Sony and others were approached in order to seek their interest level in the Bayoentta franchise. Sony and others had no interest in funding or helping another entry get made. In swoops Nintendo to save the day and  save the Bayonetta franchise. Sounds pretty similar to me.  Nintendo and Microsoft had no interest in Yakuza and then ended up finding a partner in Sony and gave the franchise a chance/saved that too.  So yes in my opinion I think they're very similar situations with both having great outcomes for both franchises.

How is it exactly same story, Considering close proximity of Platinum games with Nintendo I doubt they would have gone to sony or MS first for B2, also  Yakuza was never funded by sony nor published by sony, like B2 was by Nintendo, Even if it was offered to Sony and MS, and the reason it could have been rejected was because 1st game performed poorly while yakuza was just a concept.

Nintendo saved an existing franchise to make its dying console exclusive line up look appealing that's standard in the industry. Sony did nothing like that they just gave a chance to a franchise be born on their most successful platform. So in short Sony had no intention of saving anything, besides a developers vision, while nintendo saved a franchise of already released game in order to save its ill fated Wii U 

I've already explained multiple times how its very similar. Which is true imo.

Indeed. And it's funny to see that in both cases, Sega is involved. And how they're willing to pay for another crappy Sonic game but don't wanna spend too much money on original content.

Yeah that part is mind boggling. Give so much money to Sonic games over other IP's. But hey its Sonic, its their identity and mascot, so with as bad as Sonic games have been, they have to keep riding that horse 

I for one enjoyed Sonic Forces.

Yakuza 1?..
