No, it's not. Because Bayonetta is already an established franchise, people know about it, people like it, and people want it. W101 is a great game, from what I played, but it was a total unknown, and got ZERO advertising or real promotion in NA or EU. Which is a damn shame. Nintendo has been outright stupid when it comes to it's handling of Wii U advertising. They're doing better with MK8, but they should be doing that with EVERY big, and even medium, release Wii U has. Having a "demo reel" commercial that shows off several games, including W101, would be a great idea. But they haven't fuckin' done it.
Having said that though, there is no chance in hell B2 sells on par or worse tha W101. It'll sell a few hundred thousand, easy, maybe even over half a million. Who knows? If Nintendo actually promotes it, and bothers having a commercial for it, like the original game had? It could do a million.
But beyond that, what is the point of saying Nintendo needs new IPs, but then acting like something that is already pre-established like B2 is going to flop? If the implication is that any new IPs from Nintendo, or new TO Nintendo, are going to flop.....and that these games that appeal to "western gamers", might well flop on Wii U....then what is the point of saying they need more of them? I'm just saying, that's a contradictory and non-constructive attitude to take.
