Perpetuating the belief that your company lacks variety or fresh content doesn't strike me as a particularly good idea.

But guaranteeing millions of sales because your game has the word Mario in the title sure does.

In other words, trading short term profit for long term damage to the company's reputation among the gamers it depends upon for survival.
