Has Star Fox Zero killed the series?

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.

sorry i guess i wondered off track lol

what i mean is declining sales caused Nintendo to essentially kill the Star Fox series, a decade later they resurrected it, if sales dont increase upon its return than Nintendo likely has no desire to keep it alive.

on the other hand you are right that Fire Emblem had been declining before Awakening, the difference is that they had not put the franchise on hiatus yet, they said Awakening was the series last chance.

Awakening was FE last chance and it passed, Star Fox already had its last chance hence the decade long coma. if SFZ fails than it likely just confirms to Nintendo that they were right it killing it off.
