Without Nintendo, Bayonetta 2 would cease to exist. The franchise would have died at 1, and at that point it's not called a franchise.

And who is to say Bayonetta franchise is dead? I mean heck, they are just teasing the work of the Amiibo bayonetta, who's to say they also don't have something in the works for the NX?

But again, without Nintendo there woudl only be one Bayonetta. 

And it sounds like it could also be without Nintendo, there would only be one Beyond Good and Evil. But let's hate on Nintendo for the sake of it why don't we. 

Nothing about hating Nintendo and just being realistic.  They'd have a MUCH better shot at success releasing on multiple consoles, especially if the NX becomes the next Wii U.  The Bayonetta scenerio Nintendo fans love to tout always completely ignores the piss poor port the PS3 got.  Sales for that version probably would have been quite a bit better if it hadn't received such a poor port.  So, the devs really have themselves to blame for that one.

Does that only benefit the console and not any other system?. What about the piss poor Arkham Knight port on PC?, or the other times there have been bad ports on PC as well as the other consoles. Really it would be the devs and pubs for all those accounts too. 

The other thing to note is that it still didn't do all that well when we combine both systems from last gen, that had big userbases, together. The genre itself isn't really all that popular compared to say shooters or even some exclusives.

If we decide that it's fine and the game is to apparently do better when released on multiple platforms, then really we could say this for plenty of other games. 

There are some games that just don't sell all that well. Zombi U on Wii U didn't do amazingly well and later on it didn't do all that well on the other systems either. There are times where a game just isn't as popular as you think it is and it just doesn't do as well as you thought it would.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
