There again who's to say another enemy can't be presented in the Gears storyline? Or who's to say the conclusion of defeated the Locust (for being a fan of Gears, you sure can't remember the enemy's name well) will end in the 3rd entry into the series?
Drake certainly seems to have a good connection with "last year's model", perhaps the 3rd will conclude that Drake should settle down with the only riches he needs (if you catch my drift). You see, I can draw up ideas for whether or not a series should be extened as well  .

Could, yes, but it doesn't have to.
Alien invasions don't go on forever. Either the Locust die, or the Humans die. Inevitable. And if the Locust die and MORE aliens/whatever appear, I'm pretty sure Fenix would just kill himself.
Treasure hunting adventures can be numerous. Drake can always discover new treasures to find, for as long as Naughty Dog wants to make the series. Thousands of years of mythology from dozens of different cultures, as I said. He's only done El Dorado and Shambhala/Cintamani so far.

Okay it's inevitable that either Humans or Locust will die but who are you to say that story can only last for another entry into the series? There's many other facets that could be explored in the Gears series that could keep on going possibly long after Drake's discovered everything from the Crystal Skull to the Flying Dutchman.
Who's to say Drake can be the only adventurer who finds these numerous artifacts? Can't another dev. make some other type of gun-toting character to find ancient treasures as well? Once again, anyone can draw up ideas for whether or not a series should be extended as well.

Not necessarily another entry, I didn't say it had to be a trilogy. But I think we can safely assume that there are more mythological treasures to be found than plot twists in a not-alien invasion.
They could draw it out for another 10 games, but it's highly unlikely. Not that Uncharted will last ten games, probably 5 or 6.
|
Maybe or maybe not, neither of us know that and the point I'm still driving is anyone can draw up ideas for wanting a certain series to keep going after the usual 3 iterations. Sure there's still other mythological treasures (probably only a few left since Lara Croft or Indy have discovered many others) but that doesn't mean Drake should find them all. Either way both series should just end at 3 PLUS a good helping of Uncharted Intense Hollywood-type Racer and then ND should move on.

ND could wrap it up in one more game, or go the R&C approach and make 8+ iterations. It is the sort of franchise that could handle that. Not saying it will, or even that it should, just that it could.
