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".

I disagree, both GT5 and EM were expected to do gangbusters, I do remember some posts saying GT5 was a lock for 10 million and EM would do 5 million easily and what have you. So yes, compared to expectations, they bombed, much like another game you like to defend so fiercely :P

GT 5 has been out for 2 weeks... nobody expected a 10m first shipment

Yeah! It can still do it
