Rare and Factor 5 both got dumped as sales of their games declined. Silicon Knights was let go after both ED and MGS: TS didn't perform great either. Left Field was also let go as 1080 Avalanche didn't perform all that great. Nintendo tends to cut bait quickly if they view a development partner as a declining or non-profitable asset.

If Bayonetta 2 does not pull in a tidy profit for Nintendo, my guess is that's the last of Nintendo working with Platinum.

Just curious, do you think Bayo 2 will turn a profit? 

Depending on the budget the odds may not be so good...

Platinum just can't catch a break

It would have to get a lot of attention from the gaming press as a GOTY type candidate and Nintendo would have to market it heavily, but the odds of something like Bayonetta 2 doing well on a Nintendo platform aren't great.
