Actually CA would have sold a LOT more. Take a look at Blizzard, they take their time to publish a game after they anounce it. Hell Starcraft Ghost took so long that the new XBox 360 came out, and Blizzard had to drop the project since they were making it for the 1st XBox. WWIII took a while too, and so did WOW. And how many copies has Blizzard sold?????? Millions!

The feeling I am getting is that CA has gotten a little lazy with the details. If you look at the video "Making of Total War" (is on youtube). The guy explains that they stopped doing "cut scenes" after STW because they were too much work, and they also stopped doing "Periods of time" (u know, Early Medieval, Middle, and Late)after MTW becasue they were too much work too. And we all know the AI has gotten a little dumber after each release.

CA is making a lot of improvement in some game areas, but is dropping the ball on others.
