Over here in the UK alone, the game debuted at #7 in the overall game charts in a week where high sellers like FIFA were present across multiple platforms which implies it must've had a pretty big initial launch. When I pre-ordered my First Print Edition, it sold out in a matter of hours. And even right now despite the recent Smash Bros. launch, Bayonetta 2 is at #16 in the top 20 Wii U games list here too. Not to the mention the sheer numbers on the Miiverse community for both games implies that it has plenty of people who bought it.

As far as I know, Nintendo isn't one to really mention sales numbers unless a game does stupidly well. Hell, I've only ever heard them mention Mario Kart 8 flying off the shelves once. Until actual sales numbers are released or made available, I think it's way too premature to say the game did bad. From it's launch until now, I'd say it's actually been a much bigger success than many other people would give it credit for.
