Why did Army of Two: 40th Day sell so low its first week?

I picked other, and I'll explain why.

The graphics on the game are horrible. HORRIBLE. I think the game looks PS2-when it first came out-gen. The graphics are downright embarassing, in my opinion, for a game that just came out. Embarassing.

The game itself plays pretty well. The problem is, it's nothing special. It's not a great game, it's not a bad game. It's like a dumbed down version of Gears of War, in my opinion. The cover system doesn't work all that well. It's effective, but confusing - I just walk up to a wall and I'm using it as cover? Really? I'll take Uncharted/Gears method of pushing a button - then I know when I'm in cover and not, and I don't get stuck on a wall not realizing I'm in cover.

On top of that, a lot of people don't know that there is online multiplayer - I had no clue until I played the game, and was actually quite shocked (and oddly pleased) to find that out. I didn't get the chance to try the online multiplayer yet, so I can't say whether it's good or not. I just know I was 99% sure it didn't exist until I actually played the game.

I played the game a bit and it's not bad...it just looks extremely rushed to me, that or extremely low budget. Either one will kill the allure of the game, and it seems it did just that.
