You dont need to be a mind reader to understand when someone is generalizing something.You just need context.And if you have been acompaning the vgchartz, or gaming forums in general, there has been alot of doom about this game sales.Thus, my "everyone".Context, my dear Watson.

And yes, failure and success is very subjective to what the company was expecting of the game, its performance and whatnot.But there are baselines to anything.If we dont consider a game that sells 1 million to be at least not a flop, flop here being a game that does horrendous, and the game not having a gigantic budget of lets say 500 million,what is a milestone for it?

Context is nice and all until one point, because unless there is a official statement about the companys content about the game, anything can be bad or good, because you can say for example, that Uncharted was a flop selling 5 million, because the company could be expecting 10 million sales(not actual sales, thats just a example).But since we may never get a official statement, it will always be up to each one "context" and there will never be a concensus.Thats why its always good to have a baseline, and 1 million under 2 months for a gajme that will come to 2 other platforms is a good guess to say that the game have at least not flopped.

Nah, you're trying saving face with that "everyone" comment, but that's fine. Not really a big deal.

In any event, much of what you say is based on opinion, which isn't what I was after.  You're harping on the word "context" for no reason at all. Yes, without it, it's meaningless to call a game a flop or success, unless the company makes it abundantly clear (which isn't what's happening here). Is Halo 5 a flop at 1 million? I don't know. Is it a success? I still don't know, because I don't know what the expectations were. All I can do is assume.

Context, my dear Watson.

You kind of confirmed what i said so far.All i did in my assertions so far was assuming.If you were to review what i said, i always said that " is a good guess to say that the game have at least not flopped".Im not saying it did for certain, but im assuming it did not flop.AS i said and you said, we cant know for 100% that it did or did not unless we get a official source to tell so, but im guessing based on the informations we got so far.Im not saying that what i said is the absolute truth.So I dont get why you are trying to correct me.Im just making a educated guess based on the context given to us.Just as I said, and you said.

Dont confuse opinion with facts.Two very different things you know.
