There have been 4 movies since the original trilogy (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class, The Wolverine, and X-Men: Days of Future Past).
The reason Fox decided to make prequels instead of sequels is because of the third X-Men movie (The Last Stand).
Firstly, that movie got terrible reviews and a lot of fans hated it, which made Fox scared that a sequel wouldn't succeed. However, the main reason is because The Last Stand really messed up all chances of a sequel by killing so many important characters.
Professor X died, Cyclops died, Jean Grey died, Magneto lost his powers... How would they make a sequel with only Wolverine, Storm, Rogue and Beast?
However, in the latest X-Men movie Wolverine goes back in time and changes the past so that nothing from The Last Stand ever happened, and everyone's still alive. So the next X-Men movie, X-Men: Apocalypse, will be a sequel and not a prequel.
