LOOOOOOL, we have a winner!!!!

So this guy is asking which game has most milk in it??? I still dont get it

There's so many:

Mario, Need For Speed, Final Fantasy, Guitar Hero, Call of Duty, Ratchet & Clank, Zelda, Metroid, Mario Kart.


Then there's some getting very close to being "milked" such as: halo with all the spinoffs coming (Wars/ODST/Reach), Metal Gear Solid, Wii ___ (Sports/Play/Fit/Music), etc

I have no idea where he got his numbers

Also Gran Turismo.... 14??

GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5, GT Portable. That's only 6 full games and theres 2 prologues (GT4 and GT5)

Edit: Oh I see he just searched Gran turismo and 14 came up. It's coutning all the stupid concept games which were like demos.

Madden and Guitar Hero, from the basis of basically re-releasing the exact same game year-to-year.

Most established business have cash cows ( a cash cow is a product with high marketshare in an established market ) cash cows generaly bring in a large amount of income to the business which allows them to do things like fund new projects (these new projects are called "stars" in the uk , they will attain low martket share in fast growing markets and hope to become cash cows eventualy) . For example the original Ipod was a cash cow upon which apple could fund the Nano , iphone and so on (these eventualy become cash cows themselves).

Milking is the process of maximising the financial potential of your cash cow , Mario Galaxy , Super Smash Bros Brawl etc are all examples of Nintendo milking their cash cow.

"Milked" can have various definitions depending on who you ask, but the two main definitions we seem to be using in this context are:

-Releasing sequels that improve little upon the previous title and/or introduce very little new content.  (Madden and GH)

-Creating lots of games using a particular IP.  (Mario, CoD)

Oh i see...

That is Mario, no doubt

Usually milked though unfortunately denotes a negative connotation :P.

I haven't read the thread, but the most milked franchise is mediocre FPS game followed by FFVII wannabe franchise. Oh wait, I know they all have different names, but they are so similar they may as well be the same game franchise.
