well, jrpgs in general dont sell that well. Besides the user base on the wii u makes the odds even worst.

NIntendo fans have been talking about this game a lot. The emphasis on open-world automatically makes it more interesting for a Western audience than typical JRPGs, and some of the jRPG base is only on Wii U in Japan due to Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter.

Look at Xenoblade Chronicles. It sold 850k. Consider that it's sales might have been hampered by the significant delays in localization and the fact that it was late in the generation when many hardcore gamers (including many JRPG fans) had already abandoned the Wii. 

Bayonetta 2 will NOT flop harder than third-party games. Many NIntendo fans will buy it simply becuase it's an exclusive.

i cant see this game doing it better that xenoblade. Besides, is just a lucky guess, not saying it will happen for sure.

 

Bayonetta 2 might be an exclusive game it has a lot of thing to overcome:

-H & S genre is not that popular, the most succesful game of this genre is god of war 3 with 4m copies (it was bundled as hell).

-its a sequel for a game that came on other consoles. To make it even worst, the ps3's version achieved 1m which is very good indeed, but we are talking about a system with 70m+  user base at that time.

-i know some people wii buy it to support the wii u, but i can assure they are the minority.

 

I wish for a bundled pro controller deal with this game, that would be great and hopefully rise the sells.
