The term "failed" is used in more of a gameplay aspect, and of course, as a franchise aspect. It didn't live up to the hype for most people. Just because it was a success financially dosen't mean that it wasn't a disappointmet to its players and franchise fans. Just look at Halo 4's massive flop, or CoD's continuos letdowns. They were financial successes, but were dissapointing to the fans and players.
