It's a bomb because it failed to meet the expectations of the developers and retailers. This is a big thing. They shipped 1million units, do you people not understand that if it does not sell over 70k next week that it may _never_ sell its first shipment? That's not good.
It's not a bomb based on its sales. Its sales are fine, I'm sure capcom will not loose too much money on the game and possibly pull a little profit as it itches closer to 1m.
Monster hunter has had crazy success in japan, the last game sold almost 3.6m units (and its heavily under tracked in Americas/Others on a platform that is supposedly DEAD.
success in general, yes. success as a monster hunter title, no. success in the eyes of developers/retailers? absolutely not, it is a failure.
