You could just have one and update it by cheap DLC. Urgh.
Oh but that wouldn't make nearly a much money as releasing the exact same game mechanic for three game, adding a real/viable upgrade, and then releasing the same game three more times! Because then you can charge $60 for the new game and not like $15 for the DLC!
Seriously, yes, there are too many. When you release one approximately every year- or sometime, less than that- you've got too many games. And, as I've seen, the game mechanic- the core mechanic, that is- has changed for jack shit between each game. Press one of five buttons (not counting the switch thing on the guitar here) when a little round thingy (in one of five possible slots) tells you to. In other words, DDR for the fingers. There we go, that's the entire franchise in a nutshell.
Not that I have anything against the games themselves- I don't like them, but let people play them- but I do despise how they just change the song lineup and release a new $60 game and everyone rants and raves about "Best game of the year omfg omfg omfg", ignoring that they said that about the last one that came out earlier that same year.
So yes, too many games. They could all be fixed with DLC or a cheaper (i.e. not $60) disc.
