Colorful Games On Consoles Aren't Selling Anymore

Maybe the games aren't that good?
If you were a kid and you had to choose between Sunset Overdrive and Call Of Duty, which would you pick? Call Of Duty because you've heard of it and all your friends have it.

Except Sunset Overdrive, Tearaway, Puppeteer, The Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, etc. are all legitimately good (even great in some instances) games. 

Yet this game does pretty well as a new IP with limited marketing:

Instead of this, which actually had a fair amount of marketing behind it:

"Sunset Overdrive, Tearaway, Puppeteer, The Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3,"

Another problem with your argument.  W101 Nintendo Land and Pikmin 3 was released on an underperforming console, and two of those were new IPs. Tearaway was on the Vita, nuff said.  Sunset Overdrive is on a console not known for having colorful games, and I don't even think the studio developing them are known for having hits.   

Some games just aren't going to sell well, based on a variety of reasons and new IPs have it the hardest.  Checking picking games and setting up strict criteria to support your argument seems off OP.
