In its first 8 weeks per region (because we only have that much data for US/EU), Bayonetta 2 sold 431k. For comparison, the original on PS3 sold 465k, and that's mostly due to Japan (which sold 199k for the PS3 version, while Bayonetta 2 sold 55k). The 360 version sold 426k.
Now, I'm sure people will make all sorts of claims to try to make out like this is a bad sign... but you must keep something in mind - both PS3 and 360 version sales more than double between these figures and LTD. And considering that Nintendo tends to see longer tails, it could do even better. That doesn't mean it will, of course, but it's far too early to be calling it a "flop".
