| JustBeingReal said: I think people who played the original on PS3 or 360 being annoyed at Bayonetta 2 not being a multiplat were pretty justified in feeling that way, especially when those platforms had the larger install base and those gamers had supported the original game. The damage is kinda done now though, what would be more annoying to those people is if Bayonetta 3 was released as a multiplat for current gen, including NX, PS4 and XBox (maybe PC too), but Bayonetta 2 didn't get a mulitplat release, because people couldn't play all 3 games unless they owned a Wii U. It makes sense for a multiplat to go exclusive, if the platform it's exclusive on is the most dominant system and it's where that game's audience is, but to just go exclusive to attempt to entice people onto a platform they had no interest in is just BS, it's an anti-consumer practice. |
Where this logic falls apart is that sometimes a game needs to be exclusive to get funded at all.
Platinum have been pretty clear that Bayonetta 2 wouldn't even have gotten made if not for Nintendo.
