Sly Cooper was a $40 game? Which instalment? And did it help the sales?

Thieves in Time for PS3 and PSV. It flopped regardless, and that would be the reason why the OP didn't use it as an example.

On topic: The mid-tier is unlikely to be brought back in a serious fashion because the entire purpose of the 360/PS3/X1/PS4 was to eliminate mid-tier games in order to increase the sales for AAA games. The major third party publishers wanted an environment where they could outspend the competition, and subsequently, publishers of mid-tier games either got crushed into oblivion or had to retreat voluntarily.

Couldnt most of Nintendos games be classified as mid tier? Budget wise at least. Im pretty sure Nintendo doesnt spend $100m on a game...
