So...
I was tricked into clicking on this thread to find this is nothing more an OP's wishful thinking; consciously misinterpreting a typically empty PR-esque response and making up a title that holds no ground.
Apart from the being made up part, suggesting that MS is doing the good deed by funding the sequel to a 6.5 million seller is just laughable. This is not the sequel the the abandoned Bayonetta.
To all those reading this thread, it's made up news, there is nothing new to what Phil has already told Eurogamer and Kotaku. MS does not own the IP or the franchise, they are not co-developing this game and the deal they made has a limited duration. (IGN has SE as the publisher)
This is nothing more that a "console debut" case. But MS wanted it to sound bigger than it was and burnt in terms of fan reaction. Because let me point out once again we are not talking about a small seller or a new IP.
I am also totally disappointed at people gloating at the possibility this deal will keep the game away from the PS4 for good because it is just a spit in the face of the all gamers that helped resurrect this franchise and have an equal share in the success of the reboot.
Congrats to Phil for destroying his hard earned pro gamer image.
