It's an interesting deal. SEGA is still the IP owner for Bayonetta. Nintendo did indeed fund and publish the game, but that does not disqualify the game from getting ported. Case in point: Ninja Gaiden 2 was funded and published by Microsoft, but it didn't stop TECMO from porting it to the PS3.
Nintendo also funded and published the English localization of Bravely Default. Yet it is still a Square title.


Also, as to "number of games", while Bolivar is correct that Nintendo had far fewer than the others, I would like to point out that I can name and describe almost all of Nintendo's, while I can name maybe three of each of the other companies, despite having seen all of their presentations, and being really interested in Sony's to see what the PS4 had (since I'll be getting one for Persona 5 anyway).

BTW, were all of Sony and Microsoft's showcased games first party?
Bravely Default would still exists without Nintendo. Square still would have made that game. Bayonetta 2 & Ninja Gaiden 2 would not exist without Nintendo and Microsoft, but because those companies don't control the IP, they really don't have any control over future ports (unless there are specific contract stipulations; which companies can get around like how TECMO changed just enough from NG2 and renamed it Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2).

Just a heads up, Persona 5 is coming to PS3.

MS and Sony showed a tonne of 3rd party titles. They DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS NINTENDO. Nintendo little to no 3rd party support. So even "multi-platform" games, probably won't come out for the Wii U (with the rare WB/ubi game being the exceptions). Sony and MS can rest on the laurels of the 3rd party publishers to fill-in gaps of their release schedules. NINTENDO CAN'T! The Wii U has had some major game droughts (5 months in the 2012-2013 period was the longest I think). Nitty needs to step it up big time.
