Why were the sales of the last Gears of War and God of War games so bad?

Simple, both were unneccessary prequels.

Bingo.

God of War: Ascension was created purely to experiment with multiplayer so that they didn't have to risk God of War IV (which will be a MUCH bigger deal) being sub-par due to stretched resources trying to create a standard SP campaign and a compelling MP compononet, also the team is inexperienced with MP and had nothing in terms of competition to be inspired by. I don't know the purpose for Gears of War: Judgment? Maybe to see how fans react to a new protagonist? Or maybe just so Microsoft could have one last exclusive from one of the biggest franchise on the system.
