Bayonetta and Devil's Third are a good start.

My prediction is that Bayonetta 2 will sell 1.8 million lifetime.

Oh no. It will not reach 1 million, maybe 500K. 750K for Bayonetta 2 would be spectacular in my book and Platinum probably would be very pleased.

How could Platinum or Nintendo be pleased? They would have lost money on both projects.....

Platinum probably git the game funded anyways and will not make any loss. But a successful game means they will get more likely funding for another project.

I don't think NIntendo invested too big. Sega cancelled Bayonetta 2. At that point some development already had happened. At the point Sega cancelled the game, they gave up on this money. So Nintendo funded only half a game, and Sega probably got something in return. So I think it might be profitable for Nintendo, if the game sells some 100K. The loss will be on Segas side, but they already accepted that the moment they cancelled the game.
