Very expected, anyone who knows enough about FS and gaming community generally knows that there isn't enough market for civilian flight simulator outside FS community. Most gamers just like war flying games, they maybe plaid Flight for hour or two and uninstalled it and that's it. I guess marketing people at MS haven't been in contact with gaming enough to know this.

When people were talking about Flight becoming new FSX all the time I could read between lines that Flight wasn't going to include whole world or advanced features of FSX, and I was right. Then when whole concept of Flight became fully clear, marketing it to general gaming community, I knew that it wasn't going to sell too well either.
