You can't even include Mario. He stars in games but there is little connection between the games other than that. The games range from puzzle, party, sports, to platformers. Guitar Hero, on the other hand, takes the exact same game and flogs it into submission several times a year. The Sims is another excellent example of abusing a franchise for all it's worth.

This.

 

You can't just group all Mario games together and say the franchise is milked. All the games are a different genre.


No not This.

Anything published by Nintendo with Mario in the title is part of the Mario franchise and therefore contributes to the milkage.

Mario and Guitar Hero for me. Those saying Halo are ridicolous, GT has been milked more than Halo as of now.

It all depends on what Microsoft chooses to do after REACH.

 

Milking is not purely defined by making a lot of games. Milking is making the maximum games with the minimum effort in order to gain huge profits. Guitar Hero fits this bill very nicely - none of Mario, GT or Halo fit this at all. The Mario games are almost without exception made with a lot of effort - there may be many of them but they're good and diverse games.
