Might as well say what I said on GAF:

Senran Kagura bombed. No two ways about it. That's a terrible number.

Dont you think the word Bomb is overrated? I mean if This game bombed wat about many many many others? Not saying it did well because it did underperform (and its not like its a game i care for) but my god 46k  FW while the other 2 3ds games did 69k/51k.

I dont kno why but i think alot of people are blowing this out of the water. Seriously even if the game was expected to do 60k-80k, 46k isnt even half of that. 

Its GT6 all over again O.o, it didn't bomb, it underperformed!!! I could see if This game did under 20k to call it a flop/bomb, but its barely 10% down from the last game>_<

Yeah its overused but oh wells, underpreformed, bomed, basically the same thing =P

Also GT6 did bomb, HARD! But then again we all expected it to.

underperformed is simply stating that it did less than expected (no degree attached)
bombed is stating a complete failure.  If you think you underperformed on a test and you were expecting a 90 on the test, it can be anything under 90 points (including 89).  If you think you bombed a test, it generally means whatever score is considered a failure.  It has a degree attached to it, and a pretty severe one.  
Which is why I'm opposed to people always using it.  People here tend to exaggerate everything.  Like the power of the systems compared to others (with the console wars).  The relative sales numbers of hardware or software.  The mistakes or misunderstood decisions of X and Y company.
