And if it's a failure, then most likely you want see a sequel. Just look at CoD, last two game have broke sales records two years in a row.

The possibility of seeing that sequel is low though. If the first was a failure then it could be risky making another. It would have to be something they're running safe with and know people will like or they'll have to drop that game entirely and focus upon the making of a new one.

The first Killzone was a failure, didn't sell well at all. And a lot of people saw it as a failure, but now were on the third one. Bully was enough of a success to warrant a second one, Red Dead Revolver wasn't all the well. And Smuggler's Run had more than one game. That was also a Rockstar game if you didn't know, a lot of people don't know about that series. But the biggest thing is GTA the first and second one wasn't really that good, now look at the series.

[King Cobra]

Its all about the reputation of the developer. If they just failed to a game, they need to either improve it or make a different (and successful one) in order to regain the reputation.
