Was Bayonetta 2 Nintendo's answer to God Of War?

I love GoW and I love Bayonetta. Both are awesome. Don't go hating on a game you haven't tried for yourself.

Nintendo had wanted to do another PG exclusive. PG wanted to do Bayo 2, but no publisher wanted Bayo 2. Nintendo said, "if all we can get from you is Bayo 2 - we'd be cool with that". Simple.
