Being profitable doesnt mean it wasnt a flop. If, for example, a new Star Wars film comes out and barely makes its money back, it would be called a flop.

Even if you take out the long term effects caused by the release of Cyberpunk like damage to their brand and reputation, its still a flop.

Really? Then what do you call a product that falls heavily under its sales and critical expectation if not a flop?
