Resident Evil: Revelations problems were:
- poor marketing (compare the one this game got to the ones mainline titles have gotten)
- another 2 Resident Evil games announced BEFORE this game actually saw the light of day, some people would prefer to wait for these games (both Residen Evil Operation Racoon City AND a MAINLINE title Resident Evil 6 for 360PS3)
- "small userbase" for the 3DS, its sales hadnt exploded yet (they will in a matter of week from now)
- some people bought RE: Mercenaries, were dissapointed with it and decided not to buy this game (not knowing that it was a better game, with a real story)
-the cover is awful (yep, some people actually decide what to buy just for the cover...)
-its an M rated game, and the 3DS still doesnt have a big "hardcore gamers" userbase, yet

and for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
-poor marketing efforts
-the announcement of a COLLECTION of Metal Gear Solid games, both on PS3/360 AND the PSVita. This collection contains that game (MGS3) and MG1 and 2 and MGS2, also it LOOKED and PLAYED better, and it was CHEAPER, so there was little reason to buy the 3DS game.
- you are really naive to think this game could sell a million :P:P! not even those BETTER collections of Metal Gear Solid games will sell that ammount :)

I honestly thought it would have a shot at a million with 18million units sold and west somewhat lacking mature games. I remember people in my area at the local game store  were very excited about MGS being in 3D. All they did was talk about MGS and RE a few months before the games even launched.

Guesgging the 3D novelty thing wore of quickly or just other games come out that picked up their interest.
