I dont think many games need to be stopped, I just think some need a break and a good proper go at for when they return.
People saying Sonic, for example. Sonic shouldnt stop being done, they should just go back to what made the franchise so popular to start with. Put effort into a proper, fun, 2D sidescrolling platformer. Make a real successor to the old games and not backhand it with some episodic DLC bullshit.
NSMB, Donkey Kong, Rayman and LBP have all proven that a 2D platformer can be successful on modern hardware. There is no reason at all for the situation to be different for Sonic. Drop the gimmicks, drop the stupid side characters and go old-school 2D platforming and watch the sales roll in.
