Fallout dropped from New Vegas to Fallout 4. The settlements in 4 were an interesting twist, but everything else about Fallout 4 was a steep drop from New Vegas. Then Bethesda dropped the series off a cliff with Fallout 76. Even with 4 being worse than NV, that's one hell of a decline within the same generation.

Mortal Kombat from the SNES/Genesis to the PS1. Arguably Street Fighter also declined during the PS1 era.

Final Fantasy from 12 to 13. 12 was awesome in spite of a troubled development cycle. 13 collapsed under the weight of its own hype, and Square Enix in general was flailing the whole generation. And when 14 released later the same year in the condition it was in, it didn't look good for Final Fantasy. It's amazing they were able to do such a turnaround with A Realm Reborn.
