Do you really think that Nintendo believed this game was going to sell 5 millions or something when the first sold 2 millions on 5 years with 160m userbase? Because a game is a flop when sells less than expected, and is selling almost the same as Bayonetta 1 on 360 with 10% of the userbase! So it can not be a flop, and can sell on the 12 months of 2015 the same than on the 3 months on 2014 or even more.

You are comparing aligned time frames for Bayo 2 on WiiU and Bayo 1 on 360, right?

The WiiU didn't have only 10% userbase (8 million vs. 80 million), it had over 20% of the 360-userbase (8 million WiiUs late 2014 vs. less than 40 million 360s early 2010).

And Bayonetta 2 had some additional advantages which skew the comparison: a big publisher behind it with all its PR power, the bundled-in Bayonetta 1 (almost) for free and no competition of similar games on that platform.

Still at 0.91m at xbox 360 with 80m userbase nowadays and that´s with a global critic aclamation and good marketing.
