Has it ever occurred to anyone that just for once.. This whole Platinum/Nintendo thing is about the games and not just money??
Platinum has said that they would love to be a second party studio to Nintendo. They want to continue working with their hardware, including the 3DS. They've also stated that sales wasn't the focus on making their games. Of course, easy for them to say when Nintendo is covering the tab, but Nintendo's passionate approach has obviously impressed them. From getting people from Sega to help them work on Bayo's development, when they were overwhelmed, and allowing them to use properties they're so protective of.
In my opinion, I wish we had more of these relationships in the industry. It shouldn't be about buying IPs, or buying studios to secure IPs. It should be about working together with studios, and show how much you care about said IPs to secure them in a healthy manner.
