"Why aren't Smash fans buying our games?"

Platinum Games titles barely sell as it is, why piss off Nintendo fans further? This could seriously affect crowd response towards Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2. Nintendo took the dive financially for them and Kamiya had to open his mouth.

That was pretty much what I was getting at. Why, in a situation that Platinum Games was in, where only ONE publisher would fund the development of a sequel for you, would you burn your bridges by alienating that publisher's fanbase? Are they TRYING to go belly up?
