So you don't even remember what i am arguing now? How is that for consistency?

Your argument's ranged from "Nintendo may regret publishing it" to "Platinum won't make money from it".

And i still say that Nintendo may regret publishing it. Everything else was you trying to counter argue. 



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

And I still disagree, as I'm sure it was always a purchase based on image, not any expectations of it selling multi-millions.

I don't disagree with that, but it was made at a time where it was all suposed to pull in a certain demographic and 3rd party support, a scheme that hasn't really worked out for them.

The third party support ship may have sailed for Wii U, but that makes Bayo 2 even more valuable as a complement to their existing lineup that offers something Nintendo's own games don't and doesn't tie up one of their internal teams.

And more to the point it could prove to be part of a '2nd pillar' of Wii U games aside from the '1st pillar' of Nintendo staples and family games: niche hardcore titles; including w101, bayonetta 2, x, fire emblem x SMT etc. that 'hardcore' gamers want but can't play elsewhere.

Families will always gravitate towards Nintendo, if they have a number of hardcore titles aimed at niche demographics, it could cement the wii u as the '2nd console' for X1 and PS4 fans.

Cry me a fucking river.

This is no different then Final Fantasy switching to PlayStation or RARE games going to xbox.

Guess what most Nintendo fan were pissed off and then accepted it and bought the other systems to play the games they like.

Multplatform is the only way to go, otherwise you end up a bitter fool and waste your life in the process.

Regardless of who is funding the game, it'll flop if it stays a Wii U exclusive. Just stating facts here. That audience just isn't on the Wii U D:

  • Ps4

Hm, I'm not so sure you're right. MadWorld for Wii, another PlatinumGames game, sold .72m vs. the Xbox 360's .87m for Bayonetta. We can assume that the userbase of Wii who bought MadWorld have (or will) buy a Wii U, quite easily. There is a possibility that Bayonetta can sustain itself on the Wii U. If you meant that it needs multiplatform sales in general, and that it wouldn't thrive on any console exclusively, then that would make more sense.
