Even if this was true, putting the title on all three consoles would still result in the most sales.

Yes, and you could say the same for Mario, Halo and God of War.....  No one seems to complain when the game they like is exclusive to the system they like do they?  There's a continuous pissing match on the forums between Xbox 360 & PS3 fans as to who has more or better exclusives.  I own all the systems, so I get to choose whatever game I want, and all three current systems have some great games....

That's because people know where to expect the games that they like. When you start off a series on two consoles and then jump straight to a new console people will obviously will be upset (although that other thread shows that some go beyond ridiculous levels).

Yes, Nintendo saved the series (from what I understand) and all Bayonetta fans should be grateful, but acting as if this move was made to broaden their fanbase is wrong. Sure, it is possible that the Wii U will expand their audience, but securing their current fans before anything else would, if possible, be a smarter move. It would be beyond risky to ignore the PS3/360 users.

So if this game had been announced for PS4 and 720, there would have been outrage?
