Why is moneyhatting frowned upon?

Comparing apples to oranges always leads to great things. I love that every xb fan that has posted on this thread makes it sound like Sony fans are reacting that way because of Evil MS, when it's far from the case. So, yeah yoru "this" and "/thread" comments don't make any sense in this case.

Take Ninty for example:

Case A: The game won't be made if it's not funded by a company. Ninty helps them and gets an exclusive. (Bayo 2)
-> Props to Ninty

Case B: A huge franchise that sold well on a particular console is not released on the console that made it popular because of moneyhatting. (MH 4)
->Bad Ninty
(that is assuming that Capcom didn't make such a decison without having a deal with Ninty).

You don't have to be a sony fan to dislike this kind of practise and to understand the difference between the two.

Didn't many people react badly to Bayonetta 2 being a wiiu exclusive? Sure they did. But they were wrong. People who were fan of Tomb Raider for almost 20 years, on ther hand, have every right to be upset with both SE and MS. Not everyone can afford a second console for a single game. This is downright disrespectful from SE and a terrible practise from MS. Use that money to make your own studios or even fund indie developers like Ninty and Konami did with Platinum game.

It would be similar to Sony moneyhatting Ubisoft to not release Just Dance 2015 on wii or wiiu cause that would mean that people who love the franchise and have no interest in buying a ps4 would be unable to play the franchise whose success was part of a particular console. Sure just Dance 3 came to ps3/xb360 too, but it was thanks to wii that it became such a successful product.

Edit: Sunset overdrive is a perfect example of good practise from MS. They wanted a game and hired people who could make it.

This explains my view perfectly.
