well what would constitute a flop for a console?
imho i think its a flop if it fails to make a profit for the company (i.e there arent enough games sold to cover losses on the hardware and make a bundle) throughout its lifetime.
it could also be if a console fails to achieve what the company set out to achieve.
so in the wiis case, if it fails to outsell the GC over its lifetime it would be considered a failure.
in sonys case, if PS3 fails to make a good profit then that could also be seen as a failure, even if they sold 200 million units.
the xbox could be seen as a disaster from a finaincial point but it succeeded in getting the xbox name out there and made a good reputation for itself among many.
thar be my 2 cents
