 Because of the complete mismanagement of this series, I kind of hope it's something of a failure.

Why would yopu wish failure on either Platinum for making a sequel at all, or Nintendo for saving it? It sounds like you're angry at SEGA, but Bayo 2 flopping now won't hurt them.

I'm not angry, as I didn't care that much for the game.  It's really, really goofy and I just couldn't get into it the way I did with DMC.  It's one of those games where you're like "... what the hell?" every few minutes and some of her special moves were just embarressing to use.  If I were to be angry about anything it would be that I bought a game that was nearly unplayable until it was patched and I think that would be a legit reason to be annoyed with both Platinum and SEGA.

I don't have a problem with what Nintendo did, though, not unless it turns out that the game was going to be multi-platform until they pulled out the money-hat.  Even if that were the case, it's not like anyone would ever admit it, so it's a moot point and not worth thinking about.

SEGA still owns Bayonetta, regardless.  How it performs definitely matters to them.

Ah, it would  seem I misinterpreted you somewhat.

I'm actually not so sure Sega actually owns the franchise. They aren't co-publishing Bayo 2, Nintendo's doing that alone.

And Platinum have come out and said that the game "wouldn't exist without Nintendo", for the record, suggesting it was pretty much Wii U exclusive or nothing.
