And a "flop" would indicate it didn't sell up to or exceed expectations. The damn game isn't out yet, how the heck can it already be a flop?

Well, by your definition maybe.

By mine, a game flops, if most people think(not that they form opinions based off of reviews, more often than personal experience) it sucks. It doesn't matter if said game sells a million copies. If most people think it's crap, then it's a flop, by my definition.

Might be from my gamespot days, but we would take bets on the gamespot review score, and dub the game either a hit or a flop based upon that review score.

I still use that standard to judge entertainment.

For instance:

Xmen Wolverine: Origins was a highly grossing film, with high expectations. However, it was totally panned by critics, and thus, in my mind, was a flop.

That is my reasoning.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
