OP, I couldn't agree more. There's definitely something missing and that's new and exciting IPs.
So far we've had nothing like Gears of War, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Assassin's Creed, Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead: Season 1. Even the wiiu is not doing all that great, despite its many good games. We have nothing exciting like Mario Galaxy, nothing like WiiFit, motion controls in general or even Brain training type of games (that would get people talking).
The new IPs have by and large been underwhelming. Watch_Dogs had mixed reviews by critics and users alike. Same with Destiny. The new Insomniac game didn't make much of an impression on gamers, even though it was a good game. Even Infamous was good, but not a huge improvement over the last two. Drive Club is now a good game, but not a game changer. Ryse and Knack are regarded as terrible (though there the two exclusives I care the most for) and games that did do well were not new IPs. It's great that Mordor and dragon age Inquisition did well, but they're not new ips and thus less exciting.
Even if Bloodborne turns out to be good, it will still be a spiritual successor, so not as exciting and fresh as Demon's Souls (you pretty much know what to expect from Bloodborne). I don't see The Order changing things, but I hope it does.
