There are worse things than CoD. After the success of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam (and it's sequel), Koei approached Nintendo with a proposal for "Pokemon Warriors". Nintendo declined, feeling that a Pokemon game should not include weapons and violent death. On the other hand, a Pokemon game including Oda Nobunaga was apparently the absolute tits:
Pokemon Conquest or, as it is known in Japan, (I really wish I were kidding) Pokemon + Nobunaga's Ambition
This is why we can't have nice things!
Everybody's rockin' legends and she gets a Jigglypuff?
No weapons...they had to find something equivalent to her ball on a piece of string.
At least Hideyoshi didn't get a Mankey; that would have been most unclassy.
He gets an Infernape...

It could have been because Fallout 3 had a much more coherent story.
It could have been because New Vegas was an incredibly buggy game that was always freezing up on me and fucking up my quests.
It could have been because the Ink Spots are awesome.
It's not a fallout story though. Also, its uniformly terrible.
Bugs are 100% Bethesda's fault. Their engine and they did Q&A.
Not getting the rights to that song was the best thing that ever happened to fallout one. It's so heavy handed. Maybe was perfect, as was kiss to build a dream on.
You do know why it's called Fallut 3, right? It isn't because it's the third game (its the fifth game to wear the name, and has as much in common with FO1/2 as brotherhood of steel). It refers to the number of Hitlers that worked on it.

The Hitler Brothers are a damn fine development team.
But seriously, the bugs in New Vegas made me give that game right up. Also, I just kinda hate Bethesda's engine; New Vegas was the game that really got under my skin, and Skyrim just sealed the deal. I probably will never play another sandbox game from Bethesda unless I hear that the engine and development attitudes have completely shifted.
The simple answer here is that sequels can exist until they have gotten to the point where the game sucks or is being sequeled purely to be milked. As long as i get enjoyment out of a sequel to a series i really enjoy i want more of them to be made.
Sports games however I find have gotten way past the point of this. The engines are barely changed from one year to the next, the roster could be updated via DLC, but they just wanna keep selling those 60 buck add on discs.
I think it really depends on how the series is treated. Someone mentioned Fire Emblem, which I think is a good example. They've made a shitload of Fire Emblems over the years (awakening is the 13th) and the core concepts of all the games are more or less the same, but this most recent one is by far the best I've ever played, and I've beaten all the US releases (Even Shadow Dragon! And fuuuck Shadow Dragon). I would be disappointed if they stopped making them just because they got to some number that meant they were done.
As long as you continue to innovate and do interesting things, I welcome sequels.

NV was more faithful to the series by far
