It's not exactly a generalization specific to Nintendo fans excited for Bayonetta though, I think all 3 fanbases are guilty of this.

Except on the other two consoles you can give examples of many third party games that sell better than first parties. That's even more true on Playstation where there's a lot of first party games that don't sell well at all, even though the games themselves are fairly good.
Just this week Destiny outsold Titanfall and Infamous Second Son's current combined LTD sales in a single week, and that's a brand new IP. On PS4 there's not even an exclusive title in the first five LTD sales.
*edit*
Granted, Bayonetta isn't going to sell well at all, but being a Nintendo exclusive or a first party game, the fans tend to buy those games and ignore third parties. The reasonn for the lack of support. Bayonetta will sell better as an exclusive than it ever would have as a third party on the Wii U.
