I'm confident that it will reach 1m, or at least get relatively close, by the end of the generation. Even though Bayo 2 is a niche game, the Wii U is a niche console, so almost everyone who buys one has researched the games on the platform. Bayonetta 2 is a highly publicized and critically acclaimed game for the U, so I don't think it will be overlooked by too many people.
Of course, that's just speculation. Bayonetta 1 sold barely 2 million with a combined install base of over 160m, so it's hard to tell how the sequel will ultimately perform in comparison. I think 800k+ will ultimately be a success for both Platinum and Nintendo.
