I don't know exact numbers. It was disappointment as PoE1 did really well, and PoE2 got much bigger budget hoping for a bigger return on the investment. It made it's money back eventually, that I know for sure, so it didn't fail, but wasn't a massive profit either, unless pre-Avowed hype will boost sales.

I seriously doubt that Avowed is a kneejerk reaction to PoE2 not succeeding - I doubt those decisions are made overnight, and Feargus (Obsidian CEO) has been talking about Skyrim-in-Eora, way before PoE2 was out. You are more or less correct about PoE3, though.
