Atlus should be renamed "Entitlement Inc"

So here we are again. In all honesty; I believed that the Bayonetta 2 debacle would've been the peak of this entitlement culture that is so prevalent in gaming these days but I couldn't have been more mistaken. I've always tended to forget about the strange situation that gamers often find themselves in when it comes to the games that they love or profess to love. I saw enough hate for Bayonetta 2 (a game that would've been cancelled without Nintendo's assistance.) to make me realise that there is an insidious, entitlement culture that has seeped though the gaming community.

The biggest problem that has afflicted gaming ever since the 90s has been the fanboy. You know the kind that owns all of their favourite company's consoles and belittle the competition on a daily basis. I see that type of devotion as akin to supporting a sports team, as one tends to wrap their own self-esteem or self-worth over how well a sports team, company, game series performs. When things are going good, things are great. When things are going bad, we project our own anger and insecurities at the competition because we refuse to admit that there may be flaws, mistakes and problems that should be remedied.

I look at the various comments made on N4G, on Neogaf and I laugh at all the self-righteous indignation and resentment that seems to have been generated by a mass of sentimentalists who wear the mask that they only have the developer's best interests at heart. Well, allow me to put this into perspective for the eternally offended. The Nintendo and Atlus deal hasn't happened and it might not even happen at all which makes all this "controversy" ridiculously amusing to me. It's almost as if the very idea of Nintendo acquiring a much-respected studio is so reprehensible because Nintendo will censor them and ruin them. I mean look at what happened with Bayonetta 2? Oh right. Nothing happened with Bayonetta 2. What about that excellent RPG company Monolith Soft? Have they created a Super Mario RPG: Babby edition recently? Of course not because Nintendo already have capable teams that can already do that type of thing if they wished to. I also sincerely doubt that if Nintendo were to acquire Atlus and it's assets that they would interfere or sabotage any Atlus games because it wouldn't make much sense to mess with a winning formula. Monolith Soft has done perfectly fine since Nintendo took them over; so why can't Atlus?

Let's be realistic here for a second. What if Microsoft bought them? Would that be a far better alternative than a company like Nintendo taking over? I mean they don't make games for babbies and they did a fantastic job with Rare and have clearly shown how to properly run a once-wonderful studio into the ground. Would that be far more acceptable? Or better yet; what about if nobody bought Atlus and they simply ceased to make games altogether? For some people, it is a better alternative for that to happen than for Atlus exclusively making games for a Nintendo console. I think I could say with a great amount of certainty that if Sony were in talks over Atlus; there would be nowhere near the amount of butthurt Barrys over such an acquisition and we all know why. Nintendo does not hold any great level of respect with the "hardcore" audience and that is of no great surprise due to the lack of 3rd party support that they've suffered since the SNES days. Even the term "hardcore gamer" is laughable on the face of it because console gaming has always been decidedly casual. Anyone who has ever had to figure out how to use a DOS prompt to run a game in the good old days will understand what I mean when I say that while others may be aghast at what I've just written. The truth is the truth and there is no getting around it.

There is no such thing as a hardcore gamer. Only gamers with inflated egos and low self-esteem term themselves in such a way, as if to give themselves a status that warrants some kind of preferential treatment. We term ourselves whatever we please to give ourselves a sense of identity or a sense of belonging to something worthwhile because we become so easily attached to the people and the things around us, not truly knowing ourselves nor being honest with ourselves, as if we live in a fog of deception which is entirely our own making. People should also realise that Nintendo have been doing their best to change their image to cater to gamers of all ages. Whether or not Nintendo buy Atlus and their assets is up in the air at the moment but even if they do; any self-respecting gamer should be glad that this talented studio may be granted a reprieve to create whatever games they wish to. But let this also be known. Just because you're a fan of a company doesn't mean that you are entitled to their output or that they should follow what you have to say. Asking for a proper ending to a series or demanding bugs or glitches be fixed is not equivalent to asking a developer to be multi-platform or not to be bought over by a company that you dislike. It's not as if they'll have much choice in the matter anyway because they'll just be put up for sale with little to no input on who buys them.

I perceive that there will be a huge amount of death threats sent to Atlus if they were to go with Nintendo. The immaturity that is currently present within the gaming community does not bode well for the future of games in general, as a medium cannot fully mature unless the audience themselves have matured and that will never happen for a long while yet. Unfortunately, the more measured responses to this news have been overshadowed by a glut of whiny, entitled manchildren who cannot bear the very idea of Nintendo taking over a "beloved" company like Atlus. I look forward to the internet rage spike that may occur if the Nintendo/Atlus thing comes to fruition. So much wailing and gnashing of teeth will be unprecedented and I will stand back and mock them, ridicule them at every turn and put them on academic probation.

As Izanami from Persona 4 once said; "Your anxiety causes you to see only what you want to see and believe only what you wish to believe." If you cannot abide Atlus appearing on a Nintendo console; don't buy the console and miss out on the games. If it appears on a Sony PS4 and you can't abide Atlus appearing solely on Sony platforms; don't buy their products. Although, I sincerely doubt that would be a particular problem for a number of people on this site; I sincerely doubt that there would be any outcry of any sort if Sony were to buy Atlus.

Ah well. I look forward to the future and what it will have in store for us all. It will be most interesting to see what lies in store and I hope that Atlus will be allowed the freedom to do what they want regardless of whomever buys them.

At least they would still be in business.

[Donnieboi]

I was kinda conflicted about this blog. It seems to want to be neutral, but instead comes to Nintendo's defense. I will try to imagine it is somewhat intended to be neutral. Either way, there are just as many Nintendo fans acting entitled to Atlus too. But of course, i'm sure u knew that. Just guess there isn't enough room to include it.

Third party is best. It would have been more neutral if it played up the need for a 3rd party solution (which it touches on, but not as much as it comes to Nintendo's defenses).

[PopRocks359]

My guess is that was the point. Kinda like my blog but on the opposite spectrum where mine came to Nintendo's defense but was mostly about maintaining a third party solution. :p

I won't start comparing how many entitled Sony or Nintendo fans there are in this whole debacle, but there most certainly is a lot of entitled brats on both sides (regardless of the ratio). Atlus should remain third party, maintain their usual business and go on as they were before. EVERYONE wins in that scenario.

[Donnieboi]

That would be best

[gaffyh]

If they remain third party it would be best, but out of Sony and Nintendo, Sony needs a JRPG studio much much more. If MS bought them, the studio would be closed within a couple of years.

[majiebeast]

Nintendo fanboy calling out everyone else thats what it looks like to me. Third party is best cause Nintendo would just cancel the Persona 3 movies.

[zerocrossing]

Sorry but I have to disagree, just why would Nintendo want to cancel anything Atlus would desire to do?

The problem is that far too many gamers are letting their prejudice towards Nintendo cloud their judgement in regards to what's best for Atlus, I'm not saying Nintendo is the best choice but if Atlus does get taken up by Nintendo then at least they'd still be around, it just means all the petty haters will be missing out unless they can grit their teeth and actually buy a Nintendo console for a game they want, something they keep claiming is never available on that platform.

[majiebeast]

I dont see Nintendo publishing games like Catherine or Dragons Crown they didnt even want Binding of Isaac or super meat boy because it was too much. Nintendo would just censor everything or not localize anything or just wait till Xseed does it. Hell they cant even bother to localize Mother 3.

Producing anime's and movies isnt part of Nintendo's business and will therefore be cancelled unless its pokemon. Sony atleast has sony pictures and has produced animated movies before.

I only see Nintendo fanboys posting blogs and articles about how Nintendo would be best for Atlus. So the entitled fanboys are the Nintendo crowd. I bet that if Atlus wouldnt have localized demons souls there would have never been a Dark souls or Sony would have never localized Soul Sacrifice.

Third party solution is the best for both fanbases.

It shouldnt be Sony it shouldnt be Nintendo they should be the last resort. A holding group or a good third party publisher would be much better. Cause if we lose Atlus to Sony or Nintendo we also lose Atlus USA who do great work localizing games next to Xseed and Aksys. Nobody should want that cause they localize games that Nintendo or Sony dont have faith in and then turn into monster hits that show both they were wrong.

[zerocrossing]

That's a fair point I hadn't considered, I still haven't forgiven Nintendo for not localising Project Zero 4...

In truth the best choice would be Sony but we all already know that, anyway at least if Nintendo were to acquire them they wouldn't just disappear, that was the point I was trying to make.

[HammadTheBeast]

The article mentions Bayonetta 2. When it releases (and tanks), then we can fully appreciate how it would suck if any of the 3 companies get their hands on Atlus.

Here's the thing. Sony may be the most capable to handle Atlus, but then you have the other 2 parties mad that they can't get it. MS would just destroy the studio, and Nintendo just isn't a viable option because they can't do their party software properly at all.

In the end, Atlus should stay independant or with a 3rd party as it is with Index.

[MacDonagh]

I agree that 3rd party would be the most appealing solution for Atlus and for gamers in general but who would buy them?

I can't comfortably say that Square-Enix would buy them because they've posted a $59.8 million loss operating loss and blamed Europe and America for the lackluster sales of Hitman Absolution, Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs.

I also sincerely doubt that Sega/Sammy would be able to afford Atlus since they are constantly restructuring their company due to lackluster sales. GungHo (a developer that has does MMOs etc) might work, but you'd probably have to wait a long time to get a western release, due to them being a primarily Japanese company. Not to mention that they've only just recently bought Suda 51's company, Grasshopper Manufacture and they may be short of cash.

Almost all of the major 3rd parties are hemorrhaging money. EA continually posts huge losses in the stock market. Activision's stock price has dropped, the World of Warcraft MMO is past it's peak and they will be forced to adapt to the game industry shrinking even further. Namco-Bandai might be a feasible option since they've posted profit, but it's debatable whether or not they will bid for something that will directly compete with their own games.

It'll be interesting to see what will happen next.

[MacDonagh]

@majiebeast I'm not a fan of Nintendo. I admire what they do, as they are the last of the OGs. The only ones who remain obstinate in the face of what everyone is doing, following their own way which I personally find rather admirable. Apologies for not replying directly, but I goofed up and accidentally posted the same comment twice. So I'll just directly tackle your points here.

"Nintendo fanboy calling out everyone else thats what it looks like to me. Third party is best cause Nintendo would just cancel the Persona 3 movies."

There's going to be movies? That's nice. Why would they cancel them exactly? Oh right. Because they are evil censors who don't know anything about anime. Gotcha. ;)

"I dont see Nintendo publishing games like Catherine or Dragons Crown they didnt even want Binding of Isaac or super meat boy because it was too much. Nintendo would just censor everything or not localize anything or just wait till Xseed does it. Hell they cant even bother to localize Mother 3."

In terms of localisation, I live in Scotland. I had to wait 8 months for Catherine to come out, despite it already being fully translated into English because there was a need to translate it into different languages. English isn't the only language that is being translated.

In terms of them not wanting the Binding of Issac or Super Meat Boy; it wasn't a big deal for me as I had the games on other platforms. Whether or not Nintendo would mess with the development process of Atlus is pure conjecture at this point. Monolith Soft have done perfectly fine since Nintendo took them over and I sincerely doubt that Nintendo would mess with a development studio if they did good work.

"Producing anime's and movies isnt part of Nintendo's business and will therefore be cancelled unless its pokemon. Sony atleast has sony pictures and has produced animated movies before."

That's a possibility. Video game makers should stick to what they are good at. I like anime but it's not a big loss for me personally.

"I only see Nintendo fanboys posting blogs and articles about how Nintendo would be best for Atlus. So the entitled fanboys are the Nintendo crowd. I bet that if Atlus wouldnt have localized demons souls there would have never been a Dark souls or Sony would have never localized Soul Sacrifice."

Answer me this. If Sony were linked to Atlus; would there be as much of an outcry? I'd imagine quite the opposite. There wouldn't be so much salt for instance.

"It shouldnt be Sony it shouldnt be Nintendo they should be the last resort. A holding group or a good third party publisher would be much better. Cause if we lose Atlus to Sony or Nintendo we also lose Atlus USA who do great work localizing games next to Xseed and Aksys. Nobody should want that cause they localize games that Nintendo or Sony dont have faith in and then turn into monster hits that show both they were wrong."

The sad fact is that Atlus isn't in charge of it's own destiny anymore. Anyone can buy them. Even Microsoft. -__-'

[Qrphe]

I honestly hope neither Sony nor Nintendo buy them, the turdflinging it would cause with the fanboys would sway me away from online gaming communities for a while.

[Shadowsteal]

I stopped reading once I realized he thinks baby is spelled "babby"

[zerocrossing]

Interesting blog.

It does seem that there are far too many entitled gamers getting their panties in a twist over the prospect of the the big N acquiring Atlus, if this ever does come to be I expect the outcry to rival that of the Bayonetta 2 debacle which quite frankly was laughable.

[TongkatAli]

Nintendo is region locked and Atlus always gets its games late to Europe and sometimes Australia doesn't even get Atlus games. Nintendo fanboys are pushing really hard for this acquisition, making all these articles.

[zerocrossing]

I get what you're saying and to be honest I'd much rather Atlus goes to Sony, all I was getting at is that it's not as if Nintendo is a non-option here.

Nintendo realy need to change sone ot their backwards policies though, like region locking and holding back on releasing titles outside of Japan to the point operation rainfall needed to happen.

[Blastoise]

Couldn't care less about Bayonetta 2. All I know is I want more Persona on the Vita, because I love the hardware and think it would be a great fit.

You make out like it's just Sony fanboy's hating on Nintendo, but seem to be ignoring the massive outcry from Nintendo fans too. Looks to me Nintendo buying them out is the most popular choice.

Anyway, I have to question a lot of people on this site, there seem to be a lot of Nintendo (And Sony) fanboys who didn't seem to care at all about these Atlus franchises now all of a sudden it's "Sony should buy them!" this and "Nintendo should buy them!" that. Seems to me a lot of people just want their console of choice to "Win".

It's Monster Hunter all over again. It's just bragging rights, half the people on this site won't even consider buying any of Atlus' games.

[MacDonagh]

"You make out like it's just Sony fanboy's hating on Nintendo, but seem to be ignoring the massive outcry from Nintendo fans too. Looks to me Nintendo buying them out is the most popular choice."

Is it? O_o' I wouldn't be so sure. There is a lot of resentment from what I saw in the comments. I think people are freaking out prematurely because it hasn't even happened yet! That's what really gets me. No wonder no-one takes gaming as a legitimate medium seriously.

"Anyway, I have to question a lot of people on this site, there seem to be a lot of Nintendo (And Sony) fanboys who didn't seem to care at all about these Atlus franchises now all of a sudden it's "Sony should buy them!" this and "Nintendo should buy them!" that. Seems to me a lot of people just want their console of choice to "Win"."

3rd party would be ideal, but I don't know who could get Atlus. Maybe Level 8 or something. The biggest problem is that most 3rd parties are hemorrhaging money and they may find it difficult to justify buying up assets if they are restructuring their businesses.

"It's Monster Hunter all over again. It's just bragging rights, half the people on this site won't even consider buying any of Atlus' games."

Truer words have never been spoken.

[TongkatAli]

Nintendo wouldn't censor them, but Atlus would lose mad sales from not selling from multiple platforms, but only TWO.

Nintendo or Sony would be the two evils actually. Let them make more money and reaching out to more people. If Nintendo bought them only Wii U and 3DS games would be made from them. If a third party gets them look.

360
PS3
PS Vita
3DS
Wii U
PS4
Xbox One
Ios

Nintendo fanboys and Sony fanboys for the good of gaming f off. You're the most spoiled brats if these are the first companies that you want to buy them, you fing with Game devs money, peoples money.

[HammadTheBeast]

You didn't mention Microsoft at all.

Have you not seen how Rare has been run into the ground? Have you not seen how Halo has been run into the ground?

[Ravenor]

Most of Rare left after Viva Pinata, after the Stampers left Rare became a shell of what it once was. There are also plenty of cases of Rareware games selling extremely poorly or under performing critically. But of course, that's all Microsofts fault Perfect Dark Zero would have been better if they had more time right!?

Everyone was also right for sticking to their guns and not buying BK: Nuts N' Bolts, because it wasn't an amazing game that breathed new life into a world that NEVER would have been revisited if it wasn't for the gameplay that Nuts N' Bolts had. Sorry guys Banjo Threeie would have sold like shit too, but hey that probably would have been blamed on MS too.

Sony, poorly managed Zipper and they died, Activision murdered Bizarre, EA has killed countless studios, and Ubisoft kinda killed Red Storm. Everyone has Skeletons in their closets, think for two seconds and you might see that all of the major players do the exact same shit. Or keep skipping down your little path with the blinders on screaming "you're all wrong!"

Atlus can go to Nintendo, Sony or MS and it will be the exact same. Atlus will continue making Atlus games, and that will be all. The people who love Atlus games will buy whatever platform they need to play Atlus games and that will be that.

[AceofStaves]

If MS did buy Atlus, I'd be quite content with no longer buying Atlus games. If Sony or Nintendo bought Atlus, I'd be quite happy with continuing to support them.

It's only entertainment. Simple, really.

[Nate-Dog]

I glanced at the title of this and thought it was going to be a blog attacking Atlus for possibly signing a deal with Nintendo (from a fanboy's perspective of course) and was surprised to see it was quite the opposite. I didn't know Atlus wasn't in a very healthy position and when I glanced at that article title the other day I presumed it was just random made-up garbage, and for now I'll still see it as being made up personally unless I hear something concrete.

@TongKatAli: No, all fanboys are spoiled brats and are an annoyance in the world of gaming, not just particular ones. I don't disagree about the prevalence of Sony fanboys on this site and the annoyance of those above other ones, but that doesn't mean that it's the same case everywhere.

[Ingram]

Nintendo is coocoo like a smiling, senile grandma. They're gone. Iwata's Nintendo is surreal and pointless.

Ruining Atlus out of the question? more like a certainty

[kingPoS]

There goes my hope for a sequel to 3D Dot Heroes debuting on Playstation.

[Donnieboi]

What are u talking about? No first party bought Atlus (Including Nintendo, Sony, etc). Nobody did.

[Abriael]

Your entire post is based on a false comparison. Nothing happened to Bayonetta 2 because the Bayonetta IP isn't owned by Nintendo, and Platinum Games isn't owned by Nintendo. There's a large difference between having a title published by a company and being *owned by that company*

Monolithsoft did in fact lose some of its darker themes upon being acquired by Nintendo. Xenoblade is a LOT less mature than Xenogears was, and its themes are a lot lighter.

When a company is acquired by another it adapts to its development culture, at least partly. It's an inevitable process in business.

If you think a game like Catherine would ever come out of a Nintendo first party dev, I see a lot of delusion there.

When you make a comparison to support a false point, you may as well check that it fits first.

As explained here, http://www.dualshockers.com... Gamers with some self respect should hope that Atlus gets purchased by a third party like Kadokawa that will keep its creative freedom and themes intact.

[MacDonagh]

@Abriael "Your entire post is based on a false comparison. Nothing happened to Bayonetta 2 because the Bayonetta IP isn't owned by Nintendo, and Platinum Games isn't owned by Nintendo. There's a large difference between having a title published by a company and being *owned by that company*"

It isn't a false comparison because there were ill-founded whispers of Bayonetta 2 being censored because Nintendo only make babby games. Not to mention that the gratitude that was displayed by most "hardcore" gamers was rather amusing to say the least.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

That event and this "outrage" are one in the same. Entitled fanboys who cannot handle the very mere idea of a beloved IP appearing exclusively on a console.

"Monolithsoft did in fact lose some of its darker themes upon being acquired by Nintendo. Xenoblade is a LOT less mature than Xenogears was, and its themes are a lot lighter."

Xenoblade isn't a sequel to Xenogears which was judged to be too dark and complicated for a Final Fantasy game by Squaresoft. Not to mention that Xenoblade was named after the director Tetsuya Takahashi, for his work on the Xeno series. Here's a link that may explain why Xenoblade turned out the way it did.

http://www.gameinformer.com...

While the lighter themes may not have been suited to your tastes;, I liked the idea of a game having a beginning, middle and end instead of having games that were smaller parts of an elongated saga. Also, the reduction of the massive cutscenes were a great improvement.

"When a company is acquired by another it adapts to its development culture, at least partly. It's an inevitable process in business. If you think a game like Catherine would ever come out of a Nintendo first party dev, I see a lot of delusion there."

True enough. I can't comfortably say that Nintendo won't have reservations over games that might be a little risque. Then again, I sincerely doubt that you know enough of Nintendo's internal game development to comfortably say otherwise either. If Nintendo get Atlus, the proof will be in the pudding about what their plans will be for Atlus. I'm not entirely comfortable with Atlus being taken over by Nintendo but at least Atlus's output won't be reduced to being put on bad IOS games like what Square-Enix is doing with their games or being bought over by a company like Microsoft and being utterly destroyed.

"When you make a comparison to support a false point, you may as well check that it fits first."

The outcry over this "outrage" is similar to the Bayonetta 2 scandal because gamers are acting like entitled children. The comparison is suffice for what this is.

"Gamers with some self respect should hope that Atlus gets purchased by a third party like Kadokawa that will keep its creative freedom and themes intact."

That would be the best solution but it's up in the air at the moment. Either way, I just hope they remain in business and continue to make great games, regardless of who gets them.

[memots]

You think this problem is only with gaming? No sir.

This problem is society in general, this generation growing up right now has that sense of entitlement for just about anything, parent don't help either they are raising their kids with this mentality.
People sue for anything at all, they all want everything for nothing
People in Merica had a debate a couple years back saying that Air Conditioning should be a birth right or god given right.

Don't act as if gaming is any worse than many of the example we see in day to day situation.
People are raised as child and never get a chance to grow up.

Ps. Yes I am older and yes I use to load games on tape cassette on my C64 and I know my way around dos and bat file.

[wannabe gamer]

lol a blog about entitlement and fanboys ona site like N4G. ironic

[Unlimax]

OP ,I read your blog .. You're Cocky and Selfish.. just like Nintendo and their policies ~

Do you really thinks Atlus that stupid to easily sacrifice their own fans they build since the PS1 era for a favor of Nintendo ?

What happen to Bayonetta 2 and Monolith Soft has nothing to do with this kind of business decisions , Atlus isn't Platinum games or Monolith Soft to compare .

Atlus better trust themselves and not fall for any kind of exclusivity deals by any company from now on especially if it's a matter of Nintendo .. Yes I'm a Sony "fanboy" and i think a 3rd party company will be the perfect choice for them ( as much as i prefer Sony to be Atlus partner but whatever.. ) We need everyone to support them but not specifically on a Nintendo system .

[PopRocks359]

I think you misread the context of the blog. He wasn't saying Atlus belongs to Nintendo in the slightest. He was merely saying that if Nintendo acquired Atlus it would not spell out the end of all creation and frankly I agree. He cites Bayonetta 2 and Monolith because they are examples of Nintendo not screwing with someone else's creative endeavors. So in that sense, it actually does relate.

It's okay if you don't agree, but it's not necessary to misconstrue the context of his words and then insult him as well.

[MacDonagh]

@HammadTheBeast "The article mentions Bayonetta 2. When it releases (and tanks), then we can fully appreciate how it would suck if any of the 3 companies get their hands on Atlus."

Platinum Games's output has always tanked. Even Bayonetta, their best-selling game tanked on both Xbox 360 and PS3 which is why neither Microsoft or Sony had any interest in rescuing Bayonetta 2. You should be grateful that it even got made.

"Here's the thing. Sony may be the most capable to handle Atlus, but then you have the other 2 parties mad that they can't get it. MS would just destroy the studio, and Nintendo just isn't a viable option because they can't do their party software properly at all."

Microsoft don't give a damn about Atlus because they only make games for a "niche" market; meaning that the sales expected of their games are low and can never reach Call of Duty level. Nice jab at Nintendo btw.

@Memots "Don't act as if gaming is any worse than many of the example we see in day to day situation."

You don't see this in other mediums like art or films whereby you have your Picasso fanboys dissing Rembrandt or fanboys of film companies like 21st Century Fox for instance. Only in gaming has entitlement become so prevalent, that you have to take a step back to see the whole picture. Games will never be a respectable medium because the audience itself is too childish and whiny to allow for that to happen.

@wannabe gamer "lol a blog about entitlement and fanboys ona site like N4G. ironic"

It's like rain on a wedding day. It's a free ride when you've already paid. It's the good advice that you just didn't take. Who would've thought? It figures...

@Unlimax "OP ,I read your blog .. You're Cocky and Selfish.. just like Nintendo and their policies ~"

Woah. Insulting me and a company that you don't like? You must be one tough dude.

"Do you really thinks Atlus that stupid to easily sacrifice their own fans they build since the PS1 era for a favor of Nintendo ?"

You're acting like they have a choice in the matter. They might have some limited input about who takes them over but that's it. Anyone can take them over.

"What happen to Bayonetta 2 and Monolith Soft has nothing to do with this kind of business decisions , Atlus isn't Platinum games or Monolith Soft to compare ."

Bayonetta 2 was only salvaged due to Nintendo's interference. Not to mention that the "hardcore" didn't take too kindly to the news of Bayonetta 2 being saved by a company that they themselves can't stand. Monolith Soft is owned by Nintendo and they haven't exactly crumbled into themselves, creating Super Mario RPG: Babby edition have they?

"Atlus better trust themselves and not fall for any kind of exclusivity deals by any company from now on especially if it's a matter of Nintendo .. Yes I'm a Sony "fanboy" and i think a 3rd party company will be the perfect choice for them ( as much as i prefer Sony to be Atlus partner but whatever.. )"

So it's okay for Sony but not Nintendo? Why? Oh right. Because you support a corporation that doesn't give a damn about you. Neither does Nintendo. They only provide content delivery systems. Nothing more.

"We need everyone to support them but not specifically on a Nintendo system ."

Why? It's not as if you're entitled to their output. If (and it's a big if) Nintendo take over Atlus and you can't abide that happening; don't buy the console and miss out on the Atlus games that would be released. Pretty simple.
