Well its hard for a console (PS3) to have 2 flops in 1 month.... when their biggest game is "BUZZ TV Quiz Show"

And since when were either of the 2 games that flopped considered "MEGA"?

The funny thing is, Buzz TV could score better than IU or Too Human.

I dont consider Infinite Undiscovery & Tales of Vesperia to be flops, maybe they did not truly meet expectations but still in reviews they received many positive comments...

As for Too Human well i never expected anything and had the chance to play the game (my friend got it), though not as bad as many believe, its still an average title...

I just hope these will end up being great games since am really looking forward to them (LBP, Geow2, Resistance2 & Fable2)

Does it matter how they were hyped? I rarely saw those titles hyped by lemmings anyways -- one's average and the other is just "okay", we get it. The fact is -- is that the Xbox 360 got 4 AA titles in August with 2 AA XBLA games and 1 AAA XBLA game. PS3 received 2 AA games and the Wii received 1 AA game. Keep bashing blindly. :roll:

The 360 has more games coming out so more chances to flop. Today there was a AA and a flop. It's better than nothing.

I wouldn't call them flops because 6.5 isn't a horrible score, just a medicore one. Nonetheless, they're not really flops, just disappointments. But I guess a flop is a flop according to the hype, of which I didn't follow or notice.

The PS3 flops on the regular. I would go so far as to say the XB360 has had more AA/AAA titles this year than PS3 has had period. When the PS3 actually outnumbers the XB360 in console sales and AA/AAA titles then you might have a leg to stand on. But as it is, the PS3 is like that poor 3 legged dog down the street everyone feels sorry for.:( But with a Blu-ray player.)

Hell, the Wii looks like the dog catcher and the XB360 is acting like the Humane Society-lets put the poor dog to sleep....

IU was hyped AA-A. Too Human was also hyped AA. Both are flops.

But it shuldn't matter since Viva Pinata and Tales of Vesperia make up for it.

NO WAY!.... I thought the 360 produced nothing but Gold.IMPOSSIBLE!!!

On a side note...I find it funny how people started counting DL games after Braid got a 9.5.Very sneaky.

Too Human was also hyped AA.

Episode_Eve
It was hyped A moreso than AA. Unfortunately most of the SW people can't count. Luckily one of the ones that did did a poll and more of the hype was A with a vlose AA trailing behind. And even more unfortaunely most of the people in here (Including the mods) still believe it was hyped AA. Anyways regardless it still flopped. One of my pet peeves - stretch the truth to suit your argument.

There was an official hype thread where it was hyped AA. I don't know what thread you are referring to. The Official hype thread is what counts though. The mods wouldn't lie.

I'm aware that there was an official hype thread. However most of the people that I saw vote in the thread I saw hyped it A with perhaps a 10 point lead over an AA score. They were both really really close. It was A-AA hyped and it got like a D or something.

And 2 AA exclusives in under a month

Tales of Vesperia

Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise

THe system is hardly doomed, and since when was IU a mega flop? When was this hyped to the moon?

I understand Too Human is always getting this BS "10 year dev time" crap, but the hype for IU was A at best.

eh Tales of Vesperia kinda nullifies Infinite Undiscovery. Too Human is a piece of crap though, and probably contends, and possibly even beats, Haze for biggest disappointment of the year

oh...i just LOVE coming to system wars for a good fanboy laugh seriously...BOTH of you couldn't be more of a fanboy if you really tried games flop...big deal...it has NOTHING to do with the 360...it has EVERYTHING to do with the developer and the studio that made it oh and btw...i think too human is a good game...some reviews have valid points...others are too harsh, mainly cause it's been in development for 10 years and they wanted a perfect game...but in all reality and honest the game we got wasn't the same game that has been in development for 10 years...just the name and concept have been the same...everything on the 360 was scratch work...but yet NOBODY seems to realize this because they are too blinded by the big 10 they see when the read about the game, but don't take the time to understand what that 10 really meant

I think Too Human could be tied with Lair.

Lets see, Too Human hpyed A scored 5.5 1.5 less Flop. Lair hyped AA scored 4.5 3.5 point difference. Only cows think this is a tie...

There was a number of Too Human threads, most were A, cows base the hype over 3 AAA hypes. They do the same with IU. As in EVERY flop case, cows spin the rules to stck the deck against 360, then want to change them when a PS3 game meets the criteria...

From a majority of the threads that I've been through Too Human was a hyped AA, hell at the very beginning everyone thought it was going to be a AAA title. Infinite Undiscovery was another that was a hyped AA. Now Lair is just the biggest damn flop period lol probably the biggest flop in the history of system wars but it still doesn't change the fact that 360 has had 4 flops this year.

Gee and how many PS3 games fall under that criteria? Pretty much EVERY 1p release besides MGS4. So it's ok for cows to hype AAA, then backtrack. Yet, it can't be done on 360? 3 people are not 'everybody.' So it's official, by your logic PS3 is king of the flops.
