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".

They shut Bizarre Creations down? No more Project Gotham Racing? NO!!!!! I'm getting blur when it's on sale in protest!

They let a lot of staff go, Bizarre's going to either be shut down or sold off.  Hopefully it's the latter (and hopefully to Microsoft).
