Absolutely. The order seems to be great-> good -> FLOP, which is ridiculous. I'm a bit sick of hearing those words used simply because they fit within a person's agenda of wanting a particular game to crash and burn, especially when they substitute realistic expectations with their own inflated expectations or goal-posts based on different circumstances. |
Out of all major games released this year, i must of heard 50% of them were flops. The most recent GT6 is a perfect example of this. It might be the lowest GT in terms of sales but people read into to much. Since it was about 1/3 sales of GT5 FW it is a bomb. But in reality Sony will make money cuz it'll sell no less than 2.5mil lifetime (my guess is 7-8mil) and that gives them a profit.
I understand certain games deserve to be called flops. Imo flops are W101 (even though its stabilizing a little which is ok) That capcom game, wat was it called? Planet something lol??? Games that were called flops but clearly arent (maybe underperformed sure) are LoZ WWHD, GT6, Rayman Legends, etc!
Bomb/Flop is in every sales week thread nowadays -_-
