Heavenly Sword has flopped like Blue dragon and Lair.

No. Do some math. They sold 77k copies to 2 million userbase. It's like 275k for the start of Xbox360 game or 177k debut on the Wii. Disappointing as for such great game but definitely not a flop. Personally I think ioi is overreacting after last month difference to NPD figures. We will see.

In Poland it's the best selling game right now (second is Bioshock) - source Neo+

Userbase doesn't work like that.  I mean compare the top PS2 sales numbers with the Gamecube and XBox top games sales numbers.

A higher userbase only matters in mediocre games.  A higher user base makes OK games sell a lot better and casual games sell a lot better.

HS while criminally short is not a mediocre game however unless the number don't drop off nearly as much as one would expect next week it sure is selling like one.  Works for me though.  Just means it'll be cheaper used when I get a PS3.
