The real answer is Blur.  Was hailed as "The COD of racing", had a HUGE (and semi-controversial) advertising campaign, then it sold 30k (combined) it's first NPD and bombed so hard Activision shut down the freshly purchased Bizarre Creations as a result.

Games like GT5 and Epic mickey may have disappointed in certain regions (reverse regions actually, Mickey in Europe, GT everywhere else) but neither is anywhere close to a real "bomb".

Hang on, GT is a flop in no way, Sony have shipped over 5m copies of the game

I don't want to decide if GT is a flop or not, but shipped figures for a game couldn't be an argument here.

There was a game called ET on the amiga (i think), that was a massive flop.

But shipped numbers were great.

It's shipped 5m, that's like $300m in sales, and around $100m minimum for Sony which is the most GT 5 could have even conceivably have cost

I think all 5m copies will be sold without a question.

But at this point of time, not all 5m are sold (citing a little site called VGC).
