Do you think there would be a second meltdown if Bayonetta 3 was announced NX exclusive?

Don't be surprised if Bayonetta 3 doesn't get made. Based on its sales, and depending on its development and advertising budget I wouldn't be surprised if the game barely broke even. It could possibly have lost money for some of the parties involved.

Put it this way, Bayonetta 1 sold over 2 million copies, and that wasn't enough to make Platinum games make a sequel on its old. Bayonetta 2 sold half that.

 

But you're not taking into consideration the Smash DLC money and Amiibo money.

And what on earth does that have to do with the profitability of the game itself? Neither of these are going to directly impact the sales of Bayonetta 2.

Both can exist and sell well without anyone feeling any more encouraged greenlighting another Bayonetta title.
