So Bayonetta was not hyped at all, at the time platinum was not as recognized as today and it managed to sell 2m. I see it as good for a new IP.
Now Bayonetta 2 includes the first one for free, getting a decent hype over the months, is exclusive to a console, platinum has shined in the past and are more respectable, the ip is no longer new and the first one was well received by critics. I see this ip doubling the first one. And no one can say 2m is a flop. Just remember titanfall sold like 3m and it was overhyped ass hell for like 2 years, that to me was a flop.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
