It's a flop because it's a mainline GT. It'll still profit easily, just isn't going to live up the standard of the series.

what's the digital sales of the game? what's those number's like?

Just my opinion though, but

calling any game that sales 800,000 copy's in such a very short time without full sale through data a "flop" is pretty far reaching no matter how you slice that, and this is with incomple sale through data at that.

GT has far greater expectations than 800k. The digital number is not included, but what we know from previous cases, the number is no more than 10-15% of its total sale.

think about that for a sec, did the PS2 have advanced online store front for direct consumer purchase to be downloaded direct to the consumer console? that started with the PSP and PS3. aT THE TIME THERE WAS NO ADVANCED INVESTED STRUCTURE FOR THIS. THERE IS NOW, TRYING TO AGAIN SAY THERE IS A DECLINE, OUTRIGHT IS NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE CHANGES TO THIS SALES ENVIRONMENT, FROM THE ps2 TO NOW. THE FACT THAT THESE SALES CAN BE IN THE MILLIONS OVER TIME, AND CANNOT BE TRACK WORLD WIDE PROVE THAT.

Stop melting down for a second, and actually read what I said. Past cases, we have two GT examples (which sold waaaaaaay less than 10%) and hundreds of other games that available both digitally and retail. There's really no need to get so defensive and banking on magical digital sales which are always lower than you hope for major titles.
