Right. Imagine if you paid to have something made, and then the makers took it and used it to enriched your competitors. Nintendo's legal ninjas can't possibly be stupid enough to allow such a thing to come to pass. Especially since they came to Platinum Games when the incomplete game was headed for the rubbish bin, Nintendo probably had tremendous leverage in naming the terms of the partnership, and so even if Nintendo wasn't mean enough to get exploitative (which they very well could be, who knows), they would have made the exclusivity clause airtight.

remember microsoft paying 50 million dollars for GTA 4 exclusive episodic content, but 1 years LATER it was released on ps3, sure nintendo saved the game from going to the rubbish but how much did nintendo pay? they might have payed only for a 1 year exclusive deal, we will never know because its under NDA. i just don't think nintendo will pay platinum games 2 million worth of sales, that would be a horrible descision for nintendo because both games are not system sellers.

Not exclusive, TIMED exclusive. There is a big difference with GTA IV and Bayonetta 2. The DLC in GTA IV was coming regardless. MS simply gave Rockstar money to bring it to their console first. Not bring it to their console and only their console. MS was not surprised when Rockstar announced the GTA IV DLC for PS3 and PC. Also, that money MS gave them was protected. If the DLC was not successful to a point they agreed on, Rockstar would have to pay them back. In the case of Bayonetta 2 you have a game that simply would not exist if it weren't for Nintendo. So they aren't the same thing.
