Colony Wars.
The third game in the series- Red Sun- sold less than a third of what the first did. As much as I dislike Red Sun, the series was great and I miss it. To add insult to injury, the old official Colony Wars website is still online, so you can see all the things they had planned in Colony Wars 4 that never happened.
Breath of Fire.
The fifth game in the series was such a radical departure that it scared off most of the fans, resulting in no sequel for six years. (which is now apparently a handheld device social gaming thing-ugh)
Gladius.
Already been mentioned. Great game, one of the best on PS2. Absolutely deserves a sequel.
Advance Wars.
I have heard mention that diminishing sales might be the reason there haven't been any sequels for some time.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. Yeah, the hack and slash. The sequel ended on a cliffhanger, I want resolution! Now thanks to slow sales, we are unlikely to ever get a conclusion to the series, particularly since the entire nation that #3 was going to take place in got nuked in 4th edition Forgotten Realms.
Master of Orion: Horrible Sales on the horrible third game killed the franchise.
Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.
Didn't sell well, never got a sequel. The creators of the game tried to get a sequel via kickstarter, but there wasn't enough interest/awareness, so likely dead and buried for good.
Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm the only one who plays the games I enjoy, because they always die out from lack of sales.
