The same ended up happening to Tony Hawk but that was over a much longer period of time than GH/DJ Hero series.
The irony is they've vowed to not do the same thing to CoD they did to Guitar Hero.

The funny thing is, I'm not even sure they know what makes CoD sell so well. Like, I'm not even knocking the franchise, but it's easy to milk a series when it's on top. If the next game sold poorly, though, would they know what to do to correct that? Are they in touch enough to save that franchise?

Not to completely bash them for trashing the GH franchise because I understand that there was always some level of "fad" to the craze.

But oversaturation is a bad thing in any market, and fuck did they do that..
