EA Disappointed by MoH Warfighter Sales
During a financial meeting EA revealed that the Medal of Honor: Warfighter's sales have fallen below expectations. Electronic Arts, in a financial earnings call following its Q2 results, noted that Medal of Honor: Warfighter didn't sell as well as hoped. EA CEO John Riccitiello acknowledged that the game simply came in below expectations. This comes shortly after Cowen and Company analyst Doug Creutz said that the newest Medal of Honor was "likely to be a major disappointment."
EA did not state what level of sales Medal of Honor actually saw, but the company did say the "weaker than expected performance" is going to affect the company's third-quarter results. EA Labels president Frank Gibeau also noted that EA "takes quality very seriously" and the company was not pleased with critics, saying that EA's own internal testing led them to think that Warfighter was much better than the reception it got from critics. Despite the disappointing performance, the publisher believes that Medal of Honor remains a "good game with a receptive audience" and EA fully intends to support the game with marketing, DLC and more through the holidays.

They are not boring, they are too easy.
Games today:
Aim at general direction of enemy and click Mouse1.
sometime push w.
No replay value.
Only 50$€ for base game.
Some games not even worth pirating and waste time playing them.
Converting to USD, games over here cost around $40 new, sometimes more, sometimes less. If the sales are poor, then the game price drops fast, eg you could get Crysis 2 for around $10 pretty soon after release.

I just think people are bored with modern war shooters, the same thing happened with WW2 games 5-6 years ago, the market got saturated and people just got fed up with them.
I imagine the timing is a huge part of it as well, if people are going to get a modern shooter at the end of the year and the can only afford one, then it’s going to be Black Ops 2.
MOH isn’t a big name anymore, so not many are not going to take a risk, it doesn’t help that just like BF3 and the previous game, it takes everything far too serious.
The COD games are over the top and don’t try to hide it, so much so that you tend to forgive a lot of the nonsense, with MOH it tries to be serious and gritty and you end up judging it much more harshly for the exact same things you let go in COD.
It’s could be for the best though, might teach more developers that there is only room for one COD type of game, so they might try and be more innovative rather than playing it safe with the formula that most of us have gotten very bored of.

What's the shock the game was never expected to do well anyway. Not sure if the report I read was EA expecting it to do badly or one of these industry experts predicting that it would do badly but having seen the reviews I can't say I am shocked to see it do badly.
Oh and a laughed quite a lot at this video
