So when we ask it's port begging but when Nintendo asks for multiplats to be released on their System then the 3rd parties are unfair?


Asking for Bayonetta 2 port on other consoles is like asking a company to give its secret formula to the competition.

Asking for multiplats to be released on a system it's not on is like asking for a popular product available at other distributors to be available at a distributor closer to you.

They are very different things.

Still not seeing the difference. It's both about money.

Nintendo is not releasing the IP on multiple platforms because it would lose WiiU sales. 3rd prty publishers don't release on WiiU because they would lose money.


The difference here is that Nintendo paid for Bayonetta 2.  It would make no sense to release it on the competitions' consoles.  For third party games, it's not even about whether or not they will lose money.  Sometimes it's just the risk or whether or not the third party thinks it's worth the investment.  The process is completely different and people asking for 3rd party multiplats on a certain system show interest to 3rd parties.  With the other way around, it would make no sense for Platinum Games (or Nintendo) to even consider releasing Bayonetta 2 for other consoles.
