I'm surprised they lasted this long although I guess that MS posted a loss for the first time a week or so ago may have had something to do with the cleanout.
Just by going on forum numbers you could tell that people just weren't interested in Flight. I doubt the total number of users got to even half of those still using FSX.
Ultimately though MS have only themselves to blame. They produced something that was a crap game and a crap flight simulator. No wonder it failed.
