What will be the next AAA to flop in sales

Let's face it...sales DO matter--especially in a multiplayer game (single player they really don't matter a whole lot as you have the same experience whether or not others are online and available to play).

one thing that makes Halo3 so great is that there are always a ton of people online even over 1 year after the game launched. When you add in a skill leveling system to match you against equally skilled players it's gaming bliss--short waits to play a game against people in your same skillset. Halo3 would suck right now if it only sold a fraction of its sales.

The next AAA to flop in sales will be? Keep in mind if you suggest a game you are hyping the AAA status of the game, but also predicting very low sales.

I'm going to say this once: a game can't flop in sales, on Gamespot.

A great game doesn't always equal to great sales.

One fanboy with multiple accounts in SW is making a crusade to analyze sales of games for ownage.

Guys, we are GAMERS, what matters is if we like the game, not if a game we like sells well.

It would be great if every great game sold well, but we can't always expect that.

What happens is if a game comes out Hyped AAA, and it gets AA, that game is a flop.

This fanboy is going a step further, and saying okay, it was AAA, but it SALES are BAD!!!!

Once the game sells good, they move on to the next game.

Look at MGS4 and how that was bashed initially for sales, or Banjo, or LBP.

Infamous maybe? Seriously though we should have a rule that states a game cant be bashed for low sales untill a year later. Games such as heavenly sword, uncharted, boom blox, LBP and LO initially started of slow but had legs, all selling a million + (give or take).

i just think its silly how a game gets eternally bashed for low sales and then a few months later it becomes one of the greatest sellers.
