But I don't see "we've made a bad game" as an excuse to stop. You can make one bad game, and then make great games after that.
I mean, if Nintendo stopped making Mario games because Sunshine was bad, we wouldn't have the Galaxy games!
Sunshine wasn't really "bad" though, it was just not up to Mario standards.
There's still a lot of good stuff in there.
I also have no problem with endless sequels. The worst thing seems to be automatic annual sequels though. Then you're not putting a new iteration out because you genuinely have enough material for it, but rather just because it's "that time of year again."
