| Immortal said: Because there's nothing wrong with "milking". Lots of people may cry in their beds about the ridiculous number of Mario games released, but if quality remains great and they sell a ton, both fans and Nintendo are content. You used Pokemon as an example, which is just plain daft of you since the games still sell in excess of 15 million. If you have a great franchise and don't end up making crap games, "milking" is a non-issue. |
The Mario "games" aren't really milked though are they? The character is milked and used to sell games from a variety of genres, but each of those games has very differently gameplay elements.
OT: Call of Duty is getting there. People keep buying it at the moment, but it's getting to the point where they just keep adding minor gimmicks to differentiate the yearly iterations. Perhaps MW3 can add something new to the mix, but the question of "How to top last year's iteration?" is only going to get harder to answer.
