I would say it didn't because, as you mentioned, it didn't sell all that well despite great critical acclaim.

I thought 'Bayonetta 2 had a built in, passionate fanbase thanks to the original which turned out in full force to spread the word on the internet' sounded kinda funny as well. Ya know, considering a lot of the existing Bayonetta fanbase were constantly calling on PS/Xbox ports. Not really turning out in full force for it

Yeah, honestly, I don't know where OP got that idea from. All of the attention for Bayonetta 2 came FROM the fact that it went Wii U exclusive (as Nintendo saved the game and all), not from a giant multitude of Nintendo fans wanting the game.
