| Jay520 said: Many people on the Chartz believe that a flop is a product that fails to meet expectations of forum members. I personally find this line of thinking to be absurd, but people insist that expectations are the best way to determine if a product is a flop. Here is an accurate definition of a flop based on expectations. - flop: [noun] - a product that performs considerably below the general expectations of the community. Let's apply this reasoning to determine if the Wii U is a flop or not. Observe
Expected Wii U sales = average predictions based on this thread Again, I don't agree with the reasoning that expectations determine a product's success, but many do. For those who do, is the Wii U a flop? It only met 32% of total predictions. I'm not too sure with the logic behind this reasoning, so for those who follow this reasoning, maybe you could help me out. Is the Wii U a flop? If so, is it a MAJOR flop? If you answered yes to both, then the next question is obviously: Do we need to talk about it? Discuss EDIT: Oh, and for those who have previously used expectations to determine if a game is a flop, don't come in here and change your reasoning to suit your agenda (you know who you are). If you do, then you WILL BE EXPOSED. |
So, is it myself or Rol that you are doing this to take a shot at? The way the flop game works IS if people do have excessive expectations, and they don't meet it, it gets spun as a flop. That is a BIG problem with getting caught up in too much hype. This goes for Playstation All-Stars, Halo, GTA V, the Wii U, or anything else. It is important that people top doing this. The Wii U did gangbusters early. Whether it has overabundance of stock now is another issue. I haven't really looked into it that much, but did a local indie videogame store did get one traded in. And I just called a local Gamestop and they do have them in.
My post was people expecting millions in sales out of Playstation All-Stars. I never meant to say MOST, just some people expected it, and I was wondering why.
Well, maybe it would be worth talking about the future of console sales, because we may be going into a world of hurt.
