Well, the first one barely scraped passed 2 million across over 160 million PS3s and Xbox 360s.

Let's assume the Wii U tops out at about 20 million consoles sold. To get the same attach rate Bayo 2 would have to sell 250,000. I'm petty sure it can top that.

That doesn't have much to do with his post though. He said hack and slash in terms of the whole genre, not just Bayonetta. And in that regards you KNOW that its not even fair to compare that to Bayonetta 2, atleast not for PS3. For that you should compare it to God Of War III, as both are hack and slash games and exclusive to the console.

God Of War III sold 5.2 million units as of 31st May, 2012 (Source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-06-05-god-of-war-series-has-sold-over-21-million-copies) and is probably at over 6 million by now. To match even the 2012 sales attach rate of the game, Bayonetta 2 has to sell 1.5 million units which it probably will not.

Bayonetta sold comparable to 3 out of 4 OG Devil May Cry games also GOW is kiddie HnS... 

GOW 3 is meh compared to Bayonetta 2 visualy, GOW series always had  nice tricks to hide flaws in graphical department like Metroid Prime series.
