That's not quite true: Pacman Championship Edition was released to great reviews, although I don't have sales figures.
However, Geometry Wars
is a simple game and its sales are measured in the low hundreds of thousands. Not every game has to be an overcomplicated masterpiece with 'normal mapping' and 'vertex shading', it depends on your market.
I really don't think adding features for the sake of keeping M/C/E, or anything of the sort is the way to improve the game. PA is already pretty deep, but it could achieve pretty much exactly the same level of depth with a few of its old antiques (like M/C/E) being cut out. As far as I can see this would only have the effect of making it more accessible. A good thing, right?
