Haze definitely did poorly and flopped, but it still sold a decent amount of copies if not far below expectations, and it could easily end up with more than half a million lifetime. Anyways, I'm going to say before it even came out...Afrika. There's no chance that a realistic picture taking game set in Africa would sell well in Japan, and a release in America is so far off that no one will care by the time it comes to the region (if ever). Still though, Alone in the Dark is the biggest flop of the year so far. Its sales are absolutely embarrassing.
Anyways, the runaway success of the year easily comes down to Mario Kart Wii. Its sales are incredible across all 3 regions, and it beat its predecessor in a couple months.
