I thought we concluded that flop is a product that fails to make a profit or hugely misses its projections (not from the general public but from the company). I dont agree with the definition beeing used and you yourself disagree with it, so why make a thread with that as a basis?
Verb
flop (third-person singular simple present flops, present participle flopping, simple past and past participle flopped)
To fail completely, not to be successful at all (about a movie, play, book, song etc.).
The latest album flopped and so the studio canceled her contract.
Given this definition though, every system sold at a loss is a flop, so its a loose concept. We have to evaluate it accompanied by the company strategy wich aims at selling a certain number of units so they make up for it in software. I guess its too early to tell, but to call it a flop is a huge dramatization. It might not hit the projections of 5.5 millions by march or april, but its gonna be close, so its difficult to find any way to call it a flop, unless you wanna hate of course. Theres always a way to do that.
