Is Peace Walker the biggest high profile bomb of the year so far?

Possibly, but not totally unexpected.  Personally, I'd say Blur was worse.

We've had a lot of them in the past few months though (Lost Planet 2, Split Second, Singularity, Alan Wake, Green Day RB, Tiger 2011, etc, etc).

I'm wondering, how do these numbers square up with VGC?

I don't know if I'd put Green Day in there.  It did about 220 across platfrorms and it's one of those games that will seel at discounted prices over lifetime.   Was anyone expecting millions?  I'd argue the same with Singularity.

 

Alan Wake, Split/Second, LP2 and I'd add Blur all underperformed.

 

the Tiger2011 is not unexpected given the brand of Woods has gone south a bit, but still a bomb.

Yeah, Green Day's probably unfair, as the whole genre's really been what dropped, and well before this.  Agreed on the rest too, though I think Singularity had a chance, though Activision basically decided to "send it to die" in the end.  Raven's going to be the COD bitch-studio for sure.
