I don't think it'll be a flop. Look at the preorder numbers of New Super Mario Bros 2. 70,000 for a Mario game.
The game itself looks to have a much lower budget than most Sony first party titles, so it'd have to pull some low numbers to be a flop. Something I doubt is going to happen. Once the beta becomes available on PSN and they start advertising more when the release date draws nears, numbers should jump up.
I'm pulling a Portal 2 with the game though. I have it preordered at Newegg for $15 off and I'm selling the voucher for the digital Vita copy to a friend for $22. It's a win win win. Sony gets a $60 MSRP sale they wouldn't have because I don't purchase games for $60 anymore. I get the game for $23, and my friend gets it for $22.
I waited until I saw this on the PSABR website before preordering because wasn't sure if it would be buy digitally on PSN and get Vita version or buy on disc and get Vita version.
