Bayonetta 3 hopefully multiplatform.

But there's definitely a chance one of Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony gets it console exclusive with a pc release. If that happens I'd say Microsoft are the least likely but a toss up between Sony and Nintendo.

Microsoft now has 0% chance of getting any game made by Platinum that isn't published by Activision IMHO

That's why I put them last.  Nintendo and Sony have successfully penned deals.  Microsoft failed.  So imo it's between Sony and Nintendo.

Just like Bayonetta 2, oh wait... 

I did buy a WiiU for Bayo2. And it was worth it. 

Do I need to end every post with "for me" for people to understand that an obvious personal opinion is an obvious personal opinion?
I already did anyway. 

Its a sales site, where people predict and give their own opinion about sales. So yes you should :P. 



Now it's up to Nintendo to approach Sega again, hope Sega allow it , but if not then probably Sega intended to release on multiple platform.



Bayonetta 3 > scalebound.

If thats the case, scalebound being a loss for xbox wasnt all bad.
What xbox loses, the Switch gains double over.

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.

Bayonetta 3 would be a bigger hook to buy a Switch than any Mario game.

Edit: This post constitutes a personal opinion and view on the current announced library for the Switch and in no way, manner or form does it intend to judge the Switch's target audience or the Bayonetta or Mario franchises. 

Bayonetta 2 justified me getting a Wii U, I'd say so.

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!

I see it being more for the Switch than to be multiplat. None of the other 2 coughed up the dosh needed to make it exclusive to their own or make it multiplat, except Nintendo.
