I miss when you could have an entire franchise subsist off ~100,000 sales per entry

To use another horror franchise as an example, Fatal Frame got 5 games, 1 remake, 1 spinoff and 2 remasters despite selling in the 50-200k range for most entries

Can we just start making PS2 games again? You could make a game in less than two years without needing hundreds of people on staff

I've been playing through the Onimusha games and it's crazy to think Capcom made 3 games, 1 soft reboot, 1 fighting game spinoff and 1 GBA spinoff in 6 years. Inbetween 3 and 4 they also made a completely unrelated game
