I'd hope so, really enjoyed the previous Bayonetta games!

Wondering if it'll really be a Switch exclusive as many think though, i'm doubtful that it sold as well on Wii U to make Nintendo care to fund a 3rd entry. May be wrong though, ~750k certainly isn't bad and it's likely the Switch will have a bigger install-base for it to sell better.

A bigger install base does not necessarily mean better sales. Better potential sales, yes, but if the player base isn't into that sort of thing then the sales may not materialise.

It should go back to being a multiplat, that way it has the best chance of being profitable on its own merits rather than relying on exclusive upfront money to be viable.

Obviously it doesn't lock in better sales, but it's safe to assume so, especially in Nintendo's case since Bayonetta has become quite popular in the Nintendo fanbase, evident from Bayonetta being voted in for smash

And it being better multiplat or not really depends on the money paid for exclusivity and viability of doing it since it costs a lot more to develop multiplat than on one platform, so weighing it in if it's worth it. We shall see though, for us consumers multiplat would be the best deal since we'd all be able to play a very-likely high-quality game!
