When GamePro asked Mortal Kombat (http://www.1up.com/games/mortal-kombat) co-creator Ed Boon in 2008 if he'd continue to reinvent the brand (after MK vs. DC Universe (http://www.1up.com/games/mortal-kombat_2)), or take the iterative approach of the Tekken (http://www.1up.com/do/search?term=tekken) series, his answer points to an interesting truth: "Out of our competitors, my favorite fighting series is Tekken. When I pick up [a new Tekken game] and play as Hwoarang or Jin Kazama, I feel like my character gained a few new moves but overall retained the same strategy. Prettier graphics, but the same basic gameplay... I feel like I've played them all before."
"Coincidentally, their sales aren't nearly as big as they were back in the days of Tekken 3 (http://www.1up.com/games/tekken-3)," Boon says, "I think that's something all fighting games, especially ones with multiple sequels, need to do: add something dramatically different."
