Now this has nothing to do with whether or not the games are any good, it's simply that they're releasing in the worst possible time. Both games are reportedly coming this Fall barring anymore delays, meaning that they're going to have to face off against some massive 3rd party games. Here are all the big titles coming in the fall.

Madden 15

Destiny

Skylanders Trap Team

Alien Isolation

Dragon Age 3

Far Cry 4

Shadow of Mordor

Batman Arkham Knight

Evolve

Assassin's Creed Unity

Too much competition. Both exclusives are going to have a lot of trouble standing out from the pack in my opinion.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I really hate the word Flop/Bomb.

I think many dont kno the definition of it. They both will be far from Flops, Underperformed maybe... But no Flop.

Flop is Lost Planet 3 in Japan

What do you consider flop for these games? Under a million sold? Or more.

If they each end up under a million sold I would consider that a flop.

Why couldn't they flop? Exclusives bomb too. Look at Wonderful 101 or Kinect Sports Rivals.
