So why do you think DmC Definitive Edition sold less its first week worldwide on the PS4 and XBone than Bayonetta 2 did on the Wii U?

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)
+ One of the biggest name franchise in the hack and slash genre
+ Consumers who tend to buy maturer rated titles (supposedly)

+$40 instead of $60

+ Includes DLC content free

- Remake
- Of a game that never really sold that well to begin with
- Only one title in the release

Bayonetta 2
+ New game
+ Exclusive
+ Advertising campaign
+ Includes the previous game remastered

- Not the type of game people usually buy on this console (supposedly)
- Only 7mil people to possibly buy it
- A sequel to a game that never really sold that well to begin with. 

I thought this thread was a joke at first.  I realise now it wasn't.

Anyway, I added a few more bullet points to your surprisingly lacking list.

I had two more.

Also I thought exclusives hurt sales and were the bane of video games existance (especially for a mature rated title on the Wii U), guess it's all who you ask.
