Let's look at what these two games had going for and against them (using a + - system)
DmC
+ 4x the userbase of Wii U owners (~20 mil)
+ The biggest name franchise in the hack and slash genre
+ Consumers who tend to buy maturer rated titles (supposedly)
- Remake
Bayonetta 2
+ New game
- Not the type of game people usually buy on this console (supposedly)
- Only ~5 mil people to possibly buy it
- A sequel to a game that never really sold that well to begin with.
Just saying, Bayonetta did not have all the advantages.
