People will say outrageous things like that just because they can. I seriously don't see anything bad about this news. Skyward Sword is anything but a bomb; if anything, it's on its way to being a bonafide hit. I think people were expecting WAY too much; this is nonetheless a very solid opening number. Its Japanese launch numbers are smaller, but nowhere near bomb territory; at least over there it still sold 165k. Considering that many other Wii games have fared far worse, I'd say Skyward Sword got lucky. Anyone declaring it a bomb and a poor sales performance must be absolutely insane.
