Yeah...you're really not making much sense. |
When a sequel comes out it gets carry over sales from it's predecessor. When a new IP comes out it has to build it's popularity from the ground up. Crackdown was already a relatively small series 5 years ago, by now it's popularity is likely small enough to be negligible. So if C3 sold 1.7 million copies it would be selling them by its own merit (like a new IP) and very little because of the original games. Hence i think they are better off just making a new IP, the risk would be about the same either way.
Does that makes sence? Sorry if it wasn't clear in that post.
