Nintendo needs more western studios and more original western IPs to appeal to the west.

Just because most of it's sales are from the west doesn't mean it appeals to the west; that just means it really doesn't appeal to the Japanese. The reason their titles as niche is because they don't appeal to the west, where the vast majority of gamers are. It's the same think with JRPGs. Persona get's a lot of it's sales from the west, but that doesn't make it a popular western game.

W101 didn't fail to impress. Almost everyone who played it loved it. But all of those people would have bought a Wii U if it it came without it. It would have don't far worse on other consoles. At least with Bayonetta 2, there's a tiny audience who are willing to buy an entire console filled with games they don't want to play it. Imagine that on a grander scale with something like The Division as an exclusive Wii U first party IP. That wouldn't fail to properly impress.

 You're grasping at straws. You just said the game appeals to Nintendo gamers out of a list of games.

This is all I have left to say..

It DOES appeal to the west. The problem with the game is that the sales were not up to stuff for Segas taste.
