The biggest problem appears to be the game has no "legs" or is struggling badly with sales since its launch. Darksiders II launch managed to reach over a million copies sold from all platforms combined.

Although the good news is the Wii U version hasn't been released yet which should help sales but would probably need to sell as much as the other versions combined for THQ to be happy with Darksiders II sales.

THQ and Virgil Games had hinted the future of the series and a third game would depend on Darksiders II selling four to five million copies although most places believed THQ would be happy if it managed a more reachable mark of between two to three million copies sold.
Make. Better. Games. And set. More realistic. Goals.
