First thing i did coming to this thread is ctrl+f "DownHILL". I'm disappointed.
OT what's even more sad than a franchise dying is looking at the numbers and seeing that quality did not translate into sales.
Surprising how low some of those sales are. I can only tell you that Silent Hill games seem quite popular in Europe, by my account at least. I still see some of the older ones being sold, and haven't met any gamer who didn't know about the series, even a lot of non gamers do. And people really like talking about the games, I guess they really burrow into their minds.
The movies did pretty good in Europe too.

Yes Ruler, I say that in the OP.
Come on.
Do you remember the "Month of Madness"?
The problem here is named KONAMI
Silent hill deserves much more.

it sold less by the time but became now highly popular, even the poor optimized Silent Hill HD collection with different Voice actors and a huge community backclash sold 450k units. SH defeniatly could sell millions if its done right like the original games.
