As well as the aforementioned dump trucks (although I would think it more along the lines of a single pickup truck) of cash, having an exclusive game on launch system isn't necessarily a bad place to be. Red Steel sold alot on the Wii despite being pretty bad because they didn't have much competition. Yeah, the user base is small compared to current systems but people NEED games when they buy a new system vs. oh, I'll wait for it to get cheaper/buy it used for games the current consoles. So the competition is much less, and given the wiiU launch lineup is fairly heavy on ports of games already on other current systems, having a proper exclusive with more grown up content isn't a bad place to be....And Bayonetta 2 is one of those properties that neither MS or Sony would be all that excited about.
