Bayonetta 2 was Sega not seeing worth in spending money on the game themselves because they don't have the money. They let Nintendo publish it because it would put all the risk on Nintendo. Bayonetta 2 will not sell as much as the first one no matter how "unique" it is and no, third party devs are not going to start flocking to Wii U just because Nintendo decided to publish a niche game. The money this gen for developers are PS4 and Xbox. PS4 because of install base and Xbox because of Tie-ratio. Its simple. |
Oh. Sega didn't make any money with Bayo on 360 and PS3. OR they thought the risk lending money to finance Bayo 2 would be to high?
THAT says a lot. Doesn't it?
Install base, Tie-ratio, niche-game?
Developers and publisher put their money where they expect to sell. And given the sales numbers of Bayo 2 you can expect many developers planning Wii U exclusives.
Never was money so well spent as Nintendo did with financing Bayonetta 2.
