I don't get it. Everyone got what they wanted. Nintendo got their big exclusive, Platinum got their money, gamers got their sequel. What do sales have to do with anything?
Fun fact, Scalebound probably won't have an easy time reaching the million either despite being on the bigger platform.

Sales have everything to do with it and whether it continues or hurts the company keeping it on life support. Sega couldn't handle it. The development costs eventually catch up with it and Bayonetta isn't a big exclusive, but it is made by an underrated yet highly respected developer (High on my list being that I am a fighting/RPG/hack n slash gamer). This is on par with Nintendo going after niche games (high quality niche games) like Madworld. This is my wheel house of interest, so I try as much to stay as close to the subject no matter which platform its on.
I also cannot wait for Scalebound. Generally these games sell better on the Playstation platform, but the game should sell better on the Xbox than the Wii U.

I don't think there is a lot of risk lying on Platinum's shoulders. As long as console manufacturers are clawing for exclusives and Platinum is willing to whore themselves out to them they're gonna have a busy gen.
The question is how far will console companies go (i.e. spend) for exclusives.
If no one wants to pay for their games anymore they're probably ready to be bought up entirely anyway and their games and employees will live on.
