This for sure, cant think of a bigger increase in popularity from Gen 7 to 8.

Hell probably few franchises have ever seen that kind of increase from 1 entry to another.



The Witcher, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing (with New Leaf reaching the 10m and all the other spinoffs), Persona...



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Yep. I don't think most people even know it's not a new franchise. I have seen it listed on many many "best new franchises of this gen".



I'd def agree with Fire Emblem. Maybe Yokai Watch as well? If Splatoon wasn't just 1 game, I'd say that one as well.

The witche, dark souls was always popular but I feel it's at the height of its popularity at the moment, same with uncharted.

No one cared about final fantasy last gen even if it was popular in previous gens. Metal gear solid you could also say as well.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Most definitely. It's up ther with Uncharted 1 to 2, and cod 3 to cod 4.

Wut? A LOT of people cared about Final Fantasy last gen. FF13 had a tonne of hype and sold incredibly well, think it's in the top 5 best selling FF games even. MGS too was very well liked last gen. MGS 4 had a great reception on PS3.

That was before they found out how terrible the blasted game was >_<

I share similar sentiments towards FF13 with the knee jerk reactions, but with all due accuracy it wasn't a bad game by any means. It was just a bad FF game and FF games demand excellence at minimum to be considered a good FF game.  No exceptions considering the bar it raised between FF6-10.

Strictly speaking, it is a new franchise, in the same way Bloodborne is, but I get what you mean.
