Bayonetta is a really good game but not enough to make me buy a Nintendo console. I hope they release a director's cut on all three later on, Team Ninja released Ninja Gaiden on PS3 with a different name so I hope they do the same.

I honestly don't see the bullshit.

Your fact does not negate my fact, so it's got nothing to do with what I wrote. The fact is the PG dude said they want to make the franchise stronger and reach "more and more gamers". They did the one thing with the highest probability of ensuring the game doesn't achieve the PG franchise growth spin. Hence the PG spin is garbage and they should have just come out and told the truth, which is where your fact comes in.

PG would have been idiots to ask Sony or MS first. Going to any 1st party publisher for a previously multiplat title that sold modestly is a backwards move. PG probably would have wanted Sega to let another 3rd party publisher have the game, but I would think Sega would not want another 3rd party to have it. So PG probably went to Nintendo first and only, as Nintendo are more likely to offer favourable terms in order to snatch a franchise away from the competition.

As I said, that's all fine and good. But PG should be honest about it and don't try to feed gamers a line of bull about it being a growth strategy.

I personally don't care about the bayonetta series,but come on unless your a hardcore gamer,no one is going to do that. It's not that simple,for some people.

the bit about why they are suppose to care about those details.  most households do not have every consoles and if mommy won't buy them another toy they miss out on a game they want to play.

when VC2 went to psp we saw a lot of outcry too (including myself).  any time any series in any way shuns the hardware it's predecessors are on there will be outcry.  who wants to buy a new hardware for one game?  ..i know i didn't get a psp for VC.  fuck that shit.

I don't understand why this game is so important now

yes, and there are quite a few people on board to buy a wii for Bayonetta, hence one of the reasons Nintendo scooped it up

Yes, and you could say the same for Mario, Halo and God of War.....  No one seems to complain when the game they like is exclusive to the system they like do they?  There's a continuous pissing match on the forums between Xbox 360 & PS3 fans as to who has more or better exclusives.  I own all the systems, so I get to choose whatever game I want, and all three current systems have some great games....

It depends on thre marketing and so on.  Sometimes, by being an exclusive, you get added marketing and focus put on it, and it leads to more sales.  It would be suspect that Gears of War, for example, if it was multiplatform, would of done as well as it did.  There is a chance it would of fell into the Bulletstorm level, had it not been for the marketing campaign of Microsoft.  Being an exclusive makes a title special.  Besides the lower costs, going exclusive can end up getting the game attention it needs.

The outrage is not about the game per se, the outrage is because of the exclusion of consoles.   They are ditching the userbase that supported them, when they released the first game.
