“As I have said earlier, if you want Bayonetta 2 on PS4 or Xbox One, how about trying to ask Nintendo… If Nintendo doesn’t say yes, it’s not going to happen… While you’re at it, try asking for Mario and Zelda too…”

There you have it people, for the 100th time.

This.

Kamiya is a legend, both in terms of understanding the market and being a great game designer.

Really? Created a game that failed to sell enough for Sega to have confidence enough to see the already in development sequal as a way to keep revenue flowing. Could not sell the game to other 3rd party publishers as a likely success. Needed Nintendo to swoop in at the last minute and offer a helping wallet, which results in a game that will sell so low even Nintendo won't be willing to fund a 3rd game.

And...

Created a from scratch exclusive for Nintendo that seemed like it would be a great fit on a Nintendo console, which received a reasonable amout of hype, at least from forum dwellers, which flat out failed.

Seems like he's a legend in not beaing able to understand the market.

As to being a legend as a great game designer, I cannot say as I haven't played any of his games. However he does seem to get good reviews, so at least game reviewers like his work.

And

Bayonetta 2 Sigma Gaiden. It will happen
