Forums - Gaming - How to live forever as a game-series?

When a game is succesful there s only one question. Will there be a part 2. I believe this was the case with Bioshock. 
Somethimes they start off with the first game in a trilogy. They basically skip the problem and make the first 3 games. Like Mass Effect, it could go wrong like in Too Human.

Some tactics:

Slowmover: Like Deus Ex every generation a new game.

Genre-leap: Resident Evil moving from survival-horror to action adventure

Shotgun-approach: Create a new game for every genre in the same universe (Mario).

Innergrowth: Adding zombies by Treyarch

Rename: Don't add numbers like Demon Souls/Dark Souls.

Edit:

Space Revamp: Like Fallout New Vegas moving to another city.

Time Revamp: A few years later or earlier.

Are there some more tactics?
