I was very surprised, but part of that was because I didn't even know there was going to be a Bayonnetta 2. It's not an earth shattering surprise because it's not a super popular game. It's really a very niche game. When RE got a partial GC exclusivity that was a shocker because it left it's Playstation fans and went to the supposedly family friendly Nintendo.
Personally I don't like 3rd party exclusives because I think it limits the market for the game. I believe only 1st party games should be exclusive, all others should port to as many platforms as possible.
As for Bayonnetta 2, it's not my kind of game. I played the demo for the first one and didn't like it. I didn't like any of the DMC games either, nor do I like games like God of War or Dante's Inferno. Mashing buttons and racking up combos before hitting QTE's just isn't my cup of tea.
With that said I think Bayonnetta 2 will sell just fine on Wii U. So long as they don't spend too much money developing it, which I doubt, it will make it's investment back 10 fold. It's the kind of flashy stupid fun people are looking for at a console launch.
