is it overusing the franchise/character? perspective, i guess. really, in the past 10 years, its like we're sorta done with "new games." everything is a sequel. tekken is on 6, resident evil is on like 15, madden and wwe games have a new title every year, and sometimes more! if they sell, who can blame them?



I think the point though is although Madden etc has a new game every year, thats only one Madden game a year, one Resident evil game a year etc
But every second game on the Nintendo is Mario related.

I realise its a cash cow for them, but I think its often a way to sell a subpar game!
Sell a shitty olympics game with a unknown characters it makes jack shit, sell the same game with Mario in it and people buy it on name alone!

As you say, they will keep doing it while people keep buying them though!
