| SunofKratos said: Hello vg charts members. This is a question i want to ask you. Please give a little explanation why you think Series XYZ need to decline. Heres my list. 1. The Call of Duty , modern warfare Series: The reason is simply. This series destroys gaming. It destroys every innovation in gaming simply because other gaming titles will not have a chance to sell well or sell as much as they deserves because gamers trending to buy the same game series over and over again insteat of trying something new. Also a 5 hour long single player campagne with the same game egine again and again is not worth the 60 dollars. 2. Mario Kart. Yeah Mario Kart is a great game but is it as good that it deserve over 20 million of sales. I think not. Let other fun racers have some market. I really hope that Sonic All Stars Racing 2 and Little big Planet Karting steal some thunder from future mario kart titles. 3. Super Mario games. The same here. mario games stand for quality thats true. And Mario games also show that the jump and run genre isnt dead. But there are also some very great 2D and 3D jump and runs that deserve more marklet share and more buzz. ( Rayman origins, Little Big Planet for an example) 4. Medal of Honor. This series will very likely go the same path as Call of Duty. If its get nearly as big as Call of Duty than we will have the yearly shit again and again. 5. Crappy casual sport games. I think its obvious why. No need for an explanation.

So, you think that the Mario series should decline because it has so many sales, or that it has more market than you think it deserves? "Let other fun racers have some market"? That's analogous to "Give the ball to the other team because they are losing".
I thought the video game industry was about competition? If a game or game series has the playing field, developers just need to try a different method to win their target audience, not wish declination on it...
I don't quite understand how a game should not deserve the sales it gets. If the developers identify an audience, and they were successful in appealing to that audience, I don't see why they shouldn't deserve sales. Even Call of Duty and every manner of zombie shooter in existence, which I have a distaste for, I think deserves their sales; they won them, even if their methods are tired, but that apparently that hasn't stopped the market.
Imagine the Impossible
