Well, looking at the kickstarter, it has just over 30k backers. If you consider each of them a sale, that's not much, and it likely won't sell a large amount outside that group.
The fact neither Nintendo nor Platinum were willing to fund a port considering how cheap and painless Wii U to Switch porting is says a lot.

Eeerrr if they set the target at 2M to pay the costs and be profitable at 30k sales then it isn't a flop.

$2m isn't much when people paid an average of $50 for their copy (there were plenty of special edition offers on the kickstarter in addition to the cheaper standard versions). That's only ~40k copies sold.
The Tokyo Mirage Sessions port sold more copies and brought in more money without making fans pay a premium for various tiers of special editions.

And what does TMS have to do with it? And also a very late port is quite different than a new game.

When I said "it was a flop" I referred to its original release, and even if the kickstarter recoups the porting costs that doesn't make the overall project not a failure. Collective sales for all versions will likely still be under a million and this isn't some cheap production.
