I think that there is an argument for bringing popular series to a natural close. The Gears of War trilogy certainly qualifies for this. I can't comment on the Mass Effect trilogy -- I couldn't get into Mass Effect despite much effort on my part. However, there are a number of series which deserve to continue indefinitely -- the Elder Scrolls series and Fallout series, to name a couple.
Of course, many are going to be sad when their favourite series eventually finishes. However, more often than not these natural closures tend to be a blessing in disguise.

I kind of wish Metal Gear Solid had ended at 4. Most will say "but it has, Snake isn't in it" but you know they won't be able to resist tying the last games events or character arcs to Rising. I honestly as well wish they'd had stopped making Resident Evil games after number 3 (as well as spin offs) but admittedly I'm a grumpy Gus about RE's new direction.
I want Mass Effect to end gracefully. It has a story to tell and once its told then let it go. I understand money is to be made and all that but there's no need to milk Shepard's story. Who knows, maybe there are other stories to tell in that universe? But Shepard should be done.
It seems to be too easy at times to milk a franchise. I'll be curious to see if this happens with the Halo universe. So far, the Halo games have added to that world and enriched the lore but down the road, who knows.

I agree with Occams. Shepherd's story needs to be done with the conclusion of ME3. The ME universe is well developed enough to have tons of other stories set in it. I wouldn't mind spending more time with the Quarians and the Turians.
I believe that stories should end, not the universe where they happen. Mass Effect, for example, have a great story and a great universe. Commander Sheppard story must come to an end, but why canīt I have stories within the universe? Maybe playing as a turian or a quarian. Just don't go the Star Wars route and trying do lots of prequels.
