W101 is going to be a gargantuan flop

Now im starting to Wonder if the same will happen to Bayonetta 2?

No.

Bayonetta is a known IP, doesn't have a confused target audience like W101, and will likely get better reviews.

Even if they repeat their stupidity of shipping 30k copies for Japan and releasing it in the US the same week as COD Black Ops 3 or something, it's almost guaranteed to do better than W101. It probably won't be a multi-million seller, but it won't be a flop to this absurd degree.

Eh, a second game releasing on a platform to which most of the users haven't even touched the first one, sounds like a recipe for disaster.

It certainly won't bomb like W101 is going to, but I don't think that it will sell at large volumes as some would have your beleive. It should do around 400k..  500k tops. Pikmin 3 is a well established franchise and is currently tracking at 350k on VGChartz (10th Aug 2013).
