I don't think MP3's apparent failure has anything to do with the quality of the game or the franchise itself. I think it has more to do with people getting tired of completely linear and scripted shooters. There's been a trend over the past few years of such games not meeting sales expectations. Alan Wake, Darkness 2, Space Marine, Syndicate, Metro 2033 and FEAR 3 comes to mind. Unless a game has a strong multiplayer focus (like CoD, BF, Halo and GoW), having a completely scripted and linear single-player component isn't enough these days. Hell, when even the next CoD is adding branching stories and moral choices, you know that times are changing.
