Or a company that goes out to expect way more they should've ever in the first place. 

Case in point, Square Enix. Also on a technical level, M+R Sparks of Hope was their major 2022 title so I guess they really wanted the game to punch above it's expected weight.

Yeah, S-E did that a lot with Tomb Raider and the other western games they published.

That or the infamous Dead Space 3 moment where EA expected to sell like it was the coming of Christ

We don't have to go that far back. Krafton, who has published The Callisto Protocol, expected to sell 5 million copies. They've now revised that and now they hope to sell 2.

Woohoo! I'm more so surprised the game cost 162M to make ! 

I hope most of it was in the advertising cuz otherwise I might think some of this budget was mismanaged looking at how the game ended being on release. + It's quite the "short" title
