Has Star Fox Zero killed the series?

I don't know. I mean, it opened with about 300.000 in its first week worldwide. Not amazing, but it's not horrible considering its on Wii U. We'll just see where Nintendo wants to go from here. You never know. I mean, did anyone expect FE Awakening to be what it was despite Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance's low sales? Time will tell from here.

The thing is that the series had consistently declined after SF64.

Star Fox 64 (1997)-4.03 million

Adventures (2002)-1.87 million

Assault (2005)-1.08 million

Command (2006)-0.54 million

Each entry after SF64 did roughly half as well as the previous which caused Nintendo to put the series on hiatus.

If Star Fox Zero doesnt see a notable gain over the last couple installments than it is very likely that Nintendo will have very little interest in continuing the franchise.

Maybe they will give it one more shot, but if the next one doesnt give the series a big boost than it will probably be done for good or at least have another decade long hiatus.

What do you mean the thing is? That's all the Fire Emblem series has done too since before Awakening, was decline and decline after each entry. So not sure what that comparison does.
