Ya Age of X had little to know interest for me,everyone already knows the X-Men return the main MU and that Hickman is taking over and totally changing thing his way.So why waste money on these Age of X-Men stuff for three or four months when the story is basically not going to matter,not just in the long term but in fact more then likely in just a few minor months.
Also think fans are really tired of the alternate worlds/timeline stuff and more so when it comes to the X-Men side of things.

Anyone with a functioning brain could've predicted a six month AU event revolving around a punchline character from the '90s would end up a financial disaster.
-
That’s generally what happens when you don’t advertise an event (one as out there as Age of X-Man) happening that has a bunch of new/newish Big 2 writers attached.

That's the thing - there's only been one, Age of X, and it was entirely contained in three issues and an Alpha.

had no doubt, ever since this stinker was announced I have hated it.

This.
I like the event, but it is clearly designed as a filler while Hickman is doing his thing. Marvel didn't even bothered to advertise the event.
It will probably do even worse for the next month after the hickman reveal
Also many people think this is a lazy rip off from age of apocalypse.

I don't think it was entirely the lack of advertising (though lord knows that did not help!), as the complete inability of the folks in charge of promotion to distill the event down into a core concept. If you weren't one of the hardcore X-Fans seeking out writer interviews and such, did you even know what you were supposed to be shelling out $$$ for? Something kind of like AoA, I guess, sort of, maybe? Not exactly the best way to grab those pre-order dollars.

No amount of advertising could've saved this.

This is what happens when people idea what the story is about, when it comes out, and has horrible setup.
-
Nextgen didn't even make the top 100? Damn, guess that blows the chances of a new ongoing X teen book. And that had the highest profile writer attached, too!
-
Ouch. Nobody was expecting blockbuster business, but dropping out of the Top 75 so soon looks pretty bad.
-
Uncanny seems to be losing sales, it was at positions 7 and 9 the previous month.
