And what does it have to sell (or rather) not sell to be considered a flop? And why do you say it will flop? Reasons?

 

Sales?  I'd say sub 500k LTD.  I won't consider it a success unless it hits 1 mil - that's my opinion on any video game.  And why it'll flop?  Because the only people hyped up about this game are people who really care about graphics (not very many - ask Nintendo), and people who follow websites like this (very small percent of the actual gaming community).

There will be a few others who saw the game at E3 or something and will want to give it a shot.  Other than that, the average gamer is going to go to the store and see this game sitting next to KZ2, God of War III, GT5 and Uncharted 2..on top of the fact that the game is almost creating it's own genre, in a sense, and some people won't even consider it if it doesn't fall into the catagories of what they play.

Just an opinion.  I'll definately be renting the game, and if it turns out as good as I think it will, I'll buy it.  But I'm big on graphics, I use websites like this, and I'll already have KZ2, God of War III, GT5 and Uncharted 2 when they come out.
