That is really a flop for the ages if it sells only 5-10k. I don't remember a "relatively" high profile (hey, Nintendo have been promoting it themselves quite often) game selling that little in a long time. Even most Western games on the freakin' 360 sell more than that FW.

Lost Planet 3 will be this year's flop. Don't delude yourself, look at what Capcom thinks it will sell (1M+).

While 101 will be a flop in Japan, you're being ludicrous with just using Japan as a flop-o-meter. We can't judge sales until September 15th.

I think it's safe to say that it will flop WW though. Europe is an absolute guarantee for an epic flop (is it really epic if it was expected all along (by reasonable individuals)?), while NA is the last hope. What is guaranteed, though, is that it will do bad in all regions. It's just different levels of bad.

Do Capcom expect 1m+ for LP3 in Japan??

WW, but that is still too much and they have already cut down their expectations. I admit that this was a bad example but there has been several flops and there will still be more of them this year and I certainly do not think W101 will be the biggest.
