Forums - Sales Discussion - Biggest drop in sales in a game series?

What are the games (in a mainline series) that had considerable drop in sales? I was looking at google. Interestingly none came up. Then I think I will take the help of VGC to make a list.

Can you help me out? Currently one game series comes in mind. Its mario kart 8. Despite being releasing in a small userbase sales of mariokart 8 is astronishing. But it doesnt help to avoid the fact it had the biggest drop in sales wise.

Mario kart Wii - 35.18 million to Mario kart 8 - 4.43 million.

Wii Sports and Wii Sports Club - 82.43 million to 0.19 million.


Pretty shocking number is we compare side by side. So what other game series have the biggest drop in sales?

From Wii Sports to Resort: 82,43m-32,64m.  The original sold 2,52 times more than the sequel. Not bad

From Resort to Club: 32,64M-0,19M. The second game sold 171,78 times more than the sequel. Abismal.

From Wii Sports to Club. 82,43m--0,19M. The original sold 433,84 times more than the sequel. UNBEATABLE.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
