Uwaa I can understand that console exclusives really can annoy fans like this and you are right it's really a slap in the face for fans when they have to buy a entire new console just to play a sequel of a game you loved >.<  Though Bayonetta 2 is a bit of a special case in terms of being console-exclusive since Bayonetta 2 was actually a canceled product and the production was already stopped for a good while until Nintendo stepped in and said "Hey there, wee are going to fund it so continue working!" so it's natural that Nintendo set it as a exclusive if no other publisher was interested in it

Of course the best way would have been if they said "Wee are going to fund it and allow it to be multiplatform!" but this wouldn't have made much business-sense sadly with them launching a new console but who knows, maybe it's just a timed-exclusive and you will see Bayonetta 2 on the PS3 some day!^^

Hmm, I know Nintendo funded the production of the game, and I'm really grateful for that.  At this point, I'm just hoping that it is a timed-exclusive and will be available for PS3 (and other consoles) in the future.  Well, that's pretty much all I can hope for.

Ah okay alright I see, so you knew about that already^^ And yeah you are right :/ Though a case like this isn't unheard of, for example Mass Effect 1 was a XBOX 360 and PC exclusive for a long time though now the PS3 is finally getting it! :D
