Over-milking in reality is different to the definition we gamers have of an over-milked franchise. We see it as there simply being lots of games released in a particular franchise, so we'll scream that healthy franchises like Mario, EA's sport games, COD, and many others are over-milked because there are constant releases, when the actual definition would be something else entirely.
It's a situation where there's nothing left to milk, where you've worn the poor cow or whatever animal it is out and milked it dry. If we apply that definition, then I can only think of Guitar Hero and the Tony Hawk games.
They've been pumped out so much and so regularly that nothing else can be sustained.
