| A203D said: No, not at all, its commendable what Nintendo are doing with the Wii U. Ultimately I think its to do with Platinum Games and Sega not Nintendo. Maybe Platinum decided to reach out to Nintendo, we don't know what the story is here. They could've easily approached a multiplatform publisher like Capcom or Square Enix, and I don't see why Sega couldn't have published the game themselves. I don't really know why Platinum Games have decided to make the game exclusive, I think it should be a multiplatform title, it dosent really have anything to do with Nintendo, even if I didn't like them, as long as it was coming out for each platform I wouldn't be bothered if it came out on the Wii U. But I think it will be timed exclusive anyway. |
Hmm... I think wfz was right and maybe you probably don't want to admit it.
Given what we know: the game being canceled - we sort of extrapolate what happened behind the scenes: Nintendo swooping in the save it > gave Platinum the funding they needed which Sega could not provide > Nintendo locks up exclusvity as a condition. That story makes sense. And that being as it is, how can you still blame Platinum and Sega? Even making up your own scenario to justify your disappointment (i.e: Platinum went to Nintendo). Sega couldn't publish it themselves, they already said they wanted to take fewer risks, save money, focus on their own franchises, and pulled their support from the Bayonetta 2 project!
I don't think the decision to make it exclusive was Platinum's decision at all. I think it was Nintendo's (especially consider they are PUBLISHING it).
You can try to envision any scenario you want, but nothing you said is consistent with want we actually know to be true.
