It could make it sound like Platinum themselves was in a weaker position than they are.

It will be interesting to see who they get work from going forward, though. W101 was a disaster, and while Bayonetta might do better (it will sell better than W101 for sure, but to what degree. If Nintendo calls them back, it'll be to farm their IPs (which would be a good thing indeed, c'mon StarFox). But how much original work is Platinum going to get from anyone after this point? And that, of course, defeats the point of Platinum founders leaving Capcom to do independent work.

Well, as much as I like Platinum, I can't imagine their position being anything but weak.

And yes, it will be interesting. From the survey Konami sent out a while back, they sounded very interested in doing a Metal Gear Rising 2. Other than that, it's anybody's guess what's next for PG. I'm feeling pessimistic, so I'm going with insolvency. But I do hope I'm wrong, and I hope they can find a way to start doing more original stuff again. Maybe smaller, self-published stuff through digital distribution.

if they make Vanquish 2....all will be good!

they will make atleast a $60 return!!! :p
