If true, sounds like it's a reaction to the "prequel" rumours going around and they're essentially trying to nip it in the bud before fan speculation/expectation goes wild and then they announce "hay guyz we're following on from IW".
Gawd, I hope not. Continuing IW's narrative would be a big red flashing warning sign that they don't understand a huge aspect of why IW failed.

Did it fail financially? I thought it had sold quite well.
Even if they follow on from DXIW they could always take it in a better direction couldn't they?

Yup. I think so. It was the gameplay and design that made IW suck so hard, not the storyline.

That's the wonderful thing about IW-- it *all* sucked.

It'd be nice if you could say "Yes" or "No", actually knowing what you're talking about. The game did not sell as well as the original, but it didn't fail financially.

If that's true, then it's rather funny considering its dual-platform nature.

Can you give us better data than just "not as well"?

Not really. From (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397053/trivia) IMDB trivia; not very reliable, but there's absolutely no sales figures I can find:
"Despite low sales on the PC, the high success of the console version ensured that the game
met sales expectations."
Plus you can use common sense that if it was a financial failure they wouldn't be making a third.
