That's pretty much what I was thinking about it.

Unexpected, really. Being Nintendo exclusive was a shock. Not doubt I would get a Wii U someday, and this game too.

Bayonetta 2 clearly shows to be a system seller, of course not for everyone. I don't see anything wrong with that, not's my problem anyway.
It's not different of anyone having bought Ocarina of Time 3D back then for 3DS.

And I can relate to it.

Hm, y'know, I wonder who approached who about this. So for now let's assume the cancellation rumour was true:

Did Nintendo go to SEGA? Bayonetta 2 has been worked on, and Nintendo wish to do a better job at the third party thing. Getting this would be pretty big since fans yearned for it.

Did SEGA go to Nintendo? They know Bayonetta 2 was in the works, they didn't want to risk the money but knew there was a decent demand. Nintendo want more third party games, and have a system coming out slightly better than the current gen consoles that they could probably easily port to.

Also, does this show that SEGA are open to other companies publishing their games? I mean, it's not the only risky franchise they have, could they be willing to let some like Atlus or Xseed or Sony publish Yakuza games in the west?

At this point, isn't SEGA willing to do so to earn some much need revenue for their company?

I think SEGA are probably getting by okay. Yakuza does well for them, then there's the olympics stuff (both proper and Mario & Sonic). Of course, the biggest help for them is being owned by Sammy and getting in with that big Pachinko Yen.

Ah, I guess it's understandable....but I know this won't really reason with those who are REALLY losing their minds with this whole thing. They still feel as though SEGA betrayed them or something.

It feels kinda strange to see them direct it as a possible franchise to one system. I just hope there is a positive turn out with this move.
