What were some games that people thought would flop but in fact turned it around in the history of system wars?

And is there a word for a game that does that?

I don't know if people were expecting it to flop, but I don't think anyone expected World in Conflict to be AAA.

when a game is expected to be bad it usually is because of obvious reasons. its not hard to tell a bad game when you see one

Halo: Combat Evolved for the Xbox. During E3 people were like "meh it's gonna be ok"...........and it blew people's minds when it released.
