The Wonderful 101 was an incredibly weird game, received average reviews, and wasn't actually hyped that much. People know the Bayonetta franchise, and it created a lot of buzz over the fact that it's exclusive to the Wii U. And if you look at the sales of Wii U games, the only third-party muliplat that outsold the W101 beyond the launch period (which always has inflated game sales with people buying games they wouldn't usually) was Rayman Legends, which was supposed to be an exclusive anyway. I personally hope the third-party situation improves, but assuming things continue the way they have, Bayonetta should easily sell more than third-party games.

Saying it sold better than the 3rd party ports that bombed on the Wii U isn't exactly saying much.... But lets have another example
Another exclusive game that no one brought, from the Sonic franchise which is manages to sell utter trash games like this
For some reason the Europe sales for PS3 are seperate
or this travisty
Face it Byonetta is gonna bomb hard

That's not a good example. Hardcore gamers have lost faith in the Sonic franchise and a large proportion of Wii U owners at this point are hardcore gamers. Hardcore gamers are also more likely to hear about review scores, and when Lost World was derided by critics, most people probably gave up on it. I know I did. By comparison, I'm quite confident that Bayonetta will get good review scores. It helped push the attach rate of Super Mario 3D World as high as it is.
