So "Bayonetta 3 has some competition is probably the most surprising thing that will happen all gen." doesn't imply that the other Hack and Slash games wouldn't be able to compete and now that DMC5 will release finally Bayo3 will get some?

Nope, it isn't "at certain parts", it is a hack and slash after you clear a portion. Still GoW is a Hack and Slash game even if you try to disqualify it.

MS already released more surprising info on 5 new studios and after 8 months of release of X1X openly say they are working on new console (which haven't ever happened to have a company to say so soon after last product).

Your opposite to "probably bigest surprise" was "no surprise at all", aren't those basically extremes that doesn't cover even near what I said with it having had releases in the previous 2 gens (with 2 at last gen) it wasn't the biggest surprise of the gen. I would say Kojima leaving Konami to go Sony, PT announcement (and cancelation), UC4 after saying they were done with UC, HZD from a team that only done FPS, very big change of gameplay for GoW are much bigger surprises than hey 6 main game in a franchise got announced, that is without considering what MS did on its conf this year (plus we having mid gen refreshes which wasn't expected at all).

What other game is directly competing with Bayonetta 3? 

No, Kojima leaving and all the aftermath was very expected if you kept up with what Konami was doing. 

As best Hack & Slash ever (since Bayo 2 is already best in last 10 years for you and even it isn't competition)? I listed at least GoW (at least all last 10 year releases).

So Kojima leaving was already expected at PT release? At no point his struggles there and Sony opening a studio for him as soon as he left was at least surprising? And you just ignored all other that are potentially more surprising than 6 entry on a franchise, why was that?
