This is what happen when you milk a franchise and provide no new innovation, and most of those game had already lost its freshness to gamer. e.g. crash and spyro was released on time when 3D is a new concept to gamer, it was some of the first game that introduce a large 3D world of platfomer. Alot of gamers want to experience it, but after alot of sequel that offer no new game play, it had lose all the freshness to gamers.
First person shooter are huge success on console gaming right now because its still a very new concept to console gamer, in a few years later you'll see a huge decline in sales of first person shooter. AT current pace the market almost getting 1-3 new shooters every month, very soon it'll lose that freshness to console gamer.
Sports game is a great example of milking the franchise and offer nothing new to gamer, its basically the same FUCKING GAME(had to release my anger ^^) every year with change on the roster, menu, and some tuning character animation, and they dare to sell that shit for another $60???? FUCK YOU sport game developer. Sports game should be updated every year with a download patch that should not cost more than 5-10$$
But then there are exceptions to franchise that really offer something great like continuation of its story line(RE,MGS,etc).
