"And that's why we made three SingStar and Buzz games per year instead of one until we burned them". He forgot to say.

Regarding the early days of PlayStation:

You compare a sportsgame with real frenchises like assassins creed and cod. They have to be updated every year dueto people wanting them to be updated, new players etc

Just to be clear, the football covers are a counter-example to this:

"In the early days of PlayStation, sequels were often seen as a wasted expense that rarely saw returns on the same level of the originals. Thus, the idea of putting them out seemed risky to the more financial-driven teams."

EDIT - If sequels were indeed seen as risky they wouldn't have tried not once but twice (first with Adidas Power Soccer and then with This is Football) to go against Fifa and PES in a market where sequels were the norm.

But anyway, sports games are banned? Okay. In the PS1 days we got 3 Crash Bandicoot games, three Spyros, three Wipeouts, four Ridge Racers (excluding other platforms), four Tomb Riders, three Tekkens and the list goes on and on. Sequels were the norm already in the PS1.
