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).

It would be funny to see MS sell Bizarre and re-acquire them back later. I would really love to see a Project Gotham Racing 5, I think blur was amazing, and the driving sequences on Blood Stone were great too.
