I don't know what you would say a "considerably lager user base is" but I certainly wouldn't classify it as that. Anyway, Bayonetta 2 may not flop like W101 will but I really doubt it will be able to break even. Sequel on a manufacturers system who didn't get the first. With a manufacturer that doesn't particularly sell M rated games as well as competition and launching with a small user base (even if it is "considerably larger" it's still small). I mean Bayonetta was a flop in a financial sense. Maybe not a flop in a sales sense but it also certainly wasn't a success so I disagree that it is of "known quality" considering the fanbase it is selling to isn't one that are into playing these types of games or would have been able to play considering it wasn't on a Nintendo platform and it didn't really sell to the fanbase it did launch on.
In summary, Bayonetta will definitly flop in the financial sense. It will sell more then W101 and might be able to put up some okay numbers but definitly nothing impressive.
