I've heard a few possible options.
One is that Disgaea is avoiding some of the Playstation censorship recently. The 'Nintendo for boobs' take.
Another is that Disgaea's studio has financial issues a while back. While they have apparently recovered, it is possible that they needed a bit of help and Nintendo was able to give some in a 'regional exclusive' manner. Not a 'Bayonetta 2 wouldn't exist without us' way, but a bit of an extra boost out the door.
A third one I just thought of is that Japan tends to have longer tails for older systems. With PS5 coming out it might not be as worth it to release PS4 in their mind in the west, while more so in the east.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
