Most of the new IP's this gen have done shit to grow or advance or keep the industry alive. PS3/XBOX puts out high def versions of the same shit from last gen. Wii has its control schemes but thats about it. You could release Mario, Gran Turismo, Rachet, MGS, Halo, GTA, Zelda, FF, ect until the end of time and the game industry will for the most be the same.
I like new IP's and all but they are not the lifeblood of the gaming industry.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
