Maybe, maybe not. It sold almost 2 million (over 1mil on the PS3 alone), so there would've been a stong case for a sequel. Also, they take the risk of losing the fanbase they've started to build by making the game exclusive to a console that nobody owns.

Who really knows what happened, we'll probably never know...

The explanation below seems a little dodgy to me, so it was probably due to Nintendo offering to keep the franchise alive on their console since SEGA was probably gonna put the franchise on ice for a while.

“That being said, the console games market is in a state of upheaval, so establishing a new game franchise requires a considerable amount of will, determination, and love. Bayonetta is a brand that we want to see become stronger, reaching the hands of more and more gamers,so we have continued to consult with SEGA, the previous game’s publisher, on how we can make sure this takes place. Our answer was a new partnership with Nintendo." Huh???
