Nah. If bayonetta 3 ends up exclusive people would probably just accept it as the new norm and move on

Cloud is in Smash but there will still be a huge meltdown when FF 7 remake is confirmed for NX or whatever other nintendo system.

I think Bayonetta 3 as a nintendo exclusive will cause a meltdown but a much smaller one than Bayo 2.

Nah, I think by now people already realized that they'll need a Nintendo console to play naughty games with Cereza! :P

Nah, no one really cares about Bayonetta any more. I would be surprised if it was announced, because I seriously doubt Nintendo would consider it worth the investment. But who knows, perhaps as a launch [window] title it might actually have more of an impact than Bayo 2 did.

Platinum had no say in that. Also, bayo 2 is in a single console with a much smaller installed base than ps3 and 360, yet it's still selling similar/better numbers than the first in each console.

I think there will be a massive meltdown if it's not exclusive to the NX, to be honest.

Ninja'd.

Just the PS4?

I think people who played the original on PS3 or 360 being annoyed at Bayonetta 2 not being a multiplat were pretty justified in feeling that way, especially when those platforms had the larger install base and those gamers had supported the original game.

The damage is kinda done now though, what would be more annoying to those people is if Bayonetta 3 was released as a multiplat for current gen, including NX, PS4 and XBox (maybe PC too), but Bayonetta 2 didn't get a mulitplat release, because people couldn't play all 3 games unless they owned a Wii U.

It makes sense for a multiplat to go exclusive, if the platform it's exclusive on is the most dominant system and it's where that game's audience is, but to just go exclusive to attempt to entice people onto a platform they had no interest in is just BS, it's an anti-consumer practice.
I don't think it would be an issue if Bayonetta 3 was an NX exclusive, especially if NX has backwards compatibility with Wii U games, then people can at least play all 3 releases on one system. If B3 is made on a platform with tech similar to PS4 then the game would run similarly to how it would on PS4 anyway and it may potentially entice a larger install base onto the NX.

I'd personally like to see it as an NX launch game, but with Platinum busy on Scalebound, Nier Automata and a heavily rumored Turtles game I think a sequel would be far off. Maybe we won't hear anything about it until next year some time, if Nier manages to make it to release this year as planned.
Platinum needs to grow as a studio if they want to make this many games on the AAA level.

Doubt it. If it turns out to be exclusive then it probably means that no one else wanted to fund it.
