Yep, and look how well that worked out for both Nintendo and the franchise.

And then I look back at the last gen sales of Bayo 1 (on both platforms mind you, not just one).

This game has been teased for quite some time now, how about an actual teaser trailer. I believe a 3d platformer can do well on NX and possibly PS4 and Xone judging Ratchet and Clank is performance. So Ubisoft why not make that game, it would be something fresh. EA has some side projects so why can't ubisoft takes a risk once in a while.

Legit tease.

I probably missed the obvious train, but what in this tease or otherwise suggest NX support or exclusivity?

The was a previous rumour earliar this year that a Bayonetta 2 type of deal was struck to save the game.

You'd be right. That and the recent talk of Ubisoft going on about the "potential" of the NX. 

Without Nintendo, Bayonetta 2 would cease to exist. The franchise would have died at 1, and at that point it's not called a franchise.

And who is to say Bayonetta franchise is dead? I mean heck, they are just teasing the work of the Amiibo bayonetta, who's to say they also don't have something in the works for the NX?

But again, without Nintendo there woudl only be one Bayonetta. 

And it sounds like it could also be without Nintendo, there would only be one Beyond Good and Evil. But let's hate on Nintendo for the sake of it why don't we. 

Yep, the first game sold horrible and everyone will trash Nintendo for taking their game away from them when Sony or Microsoft could have easily stepped up and done the same thing.

So wait, does the gaming community consider Rachet and Clank a huge success on PS4, because that game I believe is struggling to reach a million units. Which most people here consider to be a big failure most of the time...  I never quite understand what people deem successful and a failure today in gaming, it seems like it always changes.
