I nominated this trope. Thank you for skipping all of the crummy suggestions.

Star Fox Zero

The Broken Base that started in Star Fox Adventures managed to finally come back to bite the Star Fox franchise in the rear with Star Fox Command. It was the poorest-selling game in the series to date, and barring the Nintendo 3DS remake of Star Fox 64, it took an entire decade for the series to receive a new title through Star Fox Zero for the Wii U.

Alas, Star Fox Zero received polarizing reactions from critics and fans, no thanks to its unconventional control scheme and removal of staple features; as well as being yet another Continuity Reboot.

The result was Zero reportedly selling even less than Command, painting a very bleak future of the series. As a Consolation Prize, Star Fox 2, the cancelled SNES sequel of the original game finally got an official release on the SNES Classic.

Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive

In the West, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive was the defining factor in Disney's grinding the franchise to a halt and selling it back to Saban in 2010.

Note the only reason Power Rangers Jungle Fury and Power Rangers RPM were made (2007-08 and 2009 resp.) was because Jetix Europe and Bandai respectively asked them to for each series.
