I don't think putting up totals really puts into context what milking a franchise really is. NSMB, for instance, has had 4 releases in the past 7 years but each one is on a different platform so if you only own one of those platforms you may feel like its not milked at all. As for Zelda, I can only count 4 mainline games since 2000. I don't know if the portables count unless Nintendo included them in that book they released which is suppose to chronicle the mainline events of the series. Also, are you counting SSB and PSASBR as entries to each individual series because that would really be inflating the numbers like if you included brawl with Mario as well as metal gear because that would be pretty wonky thing to do
