It failed because you fucked around with your fans and tried to make the game something it wasn't meant to be, if you screw with your fans long enough they'll just give you the finger and go play somewhere else.
The fans tried and tried again to tell Capcom that the series needed to return to it's original roots to stay relevant but surprise, surpise Capcom had to 'Michael Bay' it with a good dose of QTE for good measure, look where it got them.
Resident Evil Revelations is a perfect example of what Resident Evil 6 should have been, if you haven't tried Resident Evil Revelations I recommend you give it a try, if you have a 3DS anyway. Or you can wait for the HD rereleases on the WIIU/PS3/360/PC in May, you'll be surprised with how good Revelations is.
