so a new game selling 130K in usa in its first week is a MAJOR flop? sony haters are unbelievable sometiems

For what people made it out to be yeah it is.  I don't know about Rol or where his loyalties stand but this has nothing to do with hating sony, at least on my part.  This has something to do with the ridiculous predictions for this game.

yes, turkish's 5 million sales predictions is ludacris if you ask me, for example uncharted 3 just this week broke that milestone. but i dont see how this is a MAJOR flop. in a week were discounted games and discounted systems dominate sales, i dont see how a new 60$ game well sell very well. 130 is pretty good for a new game like all stars, legs will define its sales, but in no way is it a major flop, or even a flop actually. its just ok sales

He's saying it's a major flop relative to their expectations.  Most people on VGC didn't expect this game to sell well, but some people made ridiculous predictions and this is why this thread exists.  Flop threads (marked with "we need to talk about it") have become a VGChartz staple.  Just role with it (and understand the context).  It can also be considered a flop based on how it's source material performed.
