Of course it did! Without a Bayonetta sequel released, with the possibility of no Nintendo partnership, with the flop of Star Fox Zero, and the cancellation of Scalebound, Platinum needed to get money somewhere. Nier Automata unexpectedly blew up, and it helped Platinum in the process. Which is good, because I was worried.
I don't think people realize just how big Nier has been worldwide. It's not COD or anything, but it's consistently performing at 3-4k a week in Japan, and it's digital sales on PC and PS4 in western territories are great.
