I see your point but I think a database should give accurate information. Since we're about video game music and the arrangements (and originals) are video game music.. why should we NOT mention them? There's no question either way that it's first and foremost Bayonetta's soundtrack. If people wants to know what platform Out Run was for they shouldn't have to google, that's what a video game music database is for.
I think VGMdb needs a way to associate the games presented to platforms because it can easily get messy like this (or with doujin albums covering like 14 games for different platforms). The metadata ends up being inconclusive as you say but removing the information is not the answer imo, instead make it clearer. Thoughts?
