130k on the first week is only considered a bomb based on...
A. expectations/hype
B. resources it took to develop/market the game
IF this number is true then SMG has underperformed on the first day of sales, end of story. However, saying it flopped or bombed based on the first day numbers is unreasonable. But trying to sugarcoat the disappointing first day sales of a title as high as caliber as Supermario is pretty foolish. If MGS4 sold as much as SMG on the first day in Japan, the world would be at an outrage.
