Did I call it a failure?  No I did not.  A flop can be measured in many different ways and when you sell below expectations, along with dissapointing fans and critics a like it will be considered as flopping.  If you measure it in profits that is fine, but they just hurt their reputation and had to lower their predictions which means stocks will go down.  So this hurts their future in other words.  As someone else stated expectation do mean a lot because you are promising your investors that is how much you will make.  Business, business, business.

you are belittling us both.

a flop is when something bombs, simple as that

I'm going to use sports terminology actually.  Let's use Michael Vick off of the Philladelphia Eagles for example (American Football).  The Eagles paid him 100m dollars to play as the QB correct?  That is an investment that says we expect a superbowl from you.  His first year he gets them to the playoffs but loses in the first round.  He lost support for that game.  Next year he had some good games and some bad games but overall he was not worth the 100 million no matter what because they expected a superbowl from him so he was considered a flop because he played below expectations.  Does that make sense now? Many things can be considered a flop from different angles, not just one.
