Talk:Bayonetta 3/@comment-4991880-20150111213549/@comment-1661895-20150112005957

I believe this "issue" has been addressed about 100,000 times already since the initial reveal as to why Bayonetta 2 is Wii U only, but I'll explain the situation anyway in case this isn't just a comment designed to troll.

Platinum was working on Bayonetta 2 until they pitched it to SEGA and they said they couldn't finance and publish the project, most likely due to the company's financial issues at the time and the fact the first game didn't sell spectacularly in game terms. Platinum then proposed the game around to a bunch of other companies in order to get it published and they were not interested either for the same reasons. However, Nintendo said yes to the game and said they would fund it and publish it, but only if it was Wii U exclusive. And given how Platinum already had a relationship with the company beforehand working on The Wonderful 101, they would've been fools not to do it for a game they all wanted to make.

So the reason it'll never be released on other consoles it because none of the companies Platinum offered the game to wanted it. You want to blame someone, blame Sony and Microsoft. Kamiya himself has stated the only way Bayonetta 2 would ever be released on another console is if Nintendo allowed them to. And given how much interest the game got the Wii U last year and how well it actually sold looking at numbers, that's not gonna happen. As for a Bayonetta 3, maybe other companies will be interested in it given all the accolades Bayonetta 2 has gotten. But complaining about it here or anywhere will not make a difference because, as Kamiya put it, you might as well ask for a PS4 Zelda while you're at it.
