A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

fanboy remark HOME is not a game. Bioshock really didn't flop due to being a 2nd rate port.

Blasphemy!!!
Anyways, All of the Above is so bad i can choose, so i pick them all.
But i'd say alone in the dark for PS2 and Too Human for 360 along with Haze for ps3 were the worst of the worst.
I dunno about Alone in the dark, but Haze and Too human had HUGE hype behind them and they both failed in epic proportions.
Okay here goes my VGC post cherry..... I would go with Haze as the biggest flop. You've got the guys that made Timesplitters into one of the best FPS franchises and then, HAZE. What a waste and I really hope Free Radical gets picked up by someone soon.
If you read this, slap yourself.
I think it's ridiculous to consider something a flop or not on the PS2. I mean PS3 is out and has been for a while so to me thats where a big budget title will fly or flop. PS2 sales are just...I dunno.. there.
At any rate I'd say
Wii - Boom Blox. This was a title that deserved much more. It also had Steven Spielberg's name on it which should have guaranteed a million in sales. Somehow most people standing in line to buy a Wii missed this one. I personally don't understand it. Another case of EA finally puts a decent (even good!) game together nad they get punished for it /shrug
PS3 - To me the SingStar titles are heavilly advertised and seem to have a very limited success. I would consider this a tie with Rock Band. why? when you compare the sales to XBOX360 it seems rather evident that it is not as big a ticket with PS3 owners as it is with other consoles, particularilly the 360, whose numbers more than double the PS3 sales in America.
XBOX360 - Sonic Unleashed. This is more of a personal thing to me rather than sales, but I would imagine with all the popularity Sonic has in comparison to a new, somewhat off-beat title as EA's Mirrors Edge, one would think Sonic would pull in a lot more quarters. Granted EA dumped more advertising in ME but Sonic Unleashed has a lot of hype because it's sonic. I haven't played much and it seems great to me from what little I've played, much better than ME, so I can't understand the low pricing. Could IGN have that much effect on people's purchasing decisions?
Nintendo DS - I'll go with Iron Man. It's Iron Man, it's on a 90m+ console, and it managed to sell about half as wall-e. less than 200,000. Epic Fail. I would have thought that more could be sold just on mistaken identity alone (thought it was a mini-dvd or psp movie).
Sony PSP - Madden '09. It was part of a bundle and it still managed to undersell it's three predicessors. I don't think EA expected that. It still sold well, but not at the Madden level.

come on, Call of Duty Wii version may be a million seller in the future, it's too early to judge, it's having legs
also, how can you call Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon a flop!
it's going to hit 1 million across all consoles this week and it's selling something like 30k each week, it's not flop! (although it had a terrible launch)
now, Okami is sure flop (although it's sad)
*Banjo and Sonic are not flops for sure
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
