People want new IPs worth buying.
Mirror's Edge and Dead Space had some flaws, which is why they underperformed. People are not going to buy games just to "invest" in the future. They will buy games they want to play. This is much like the situation with 3rd parties and the Wii, they just aren't delivering the right games, then end up blaming the userbase. Doesn't it occur to them that they're doing something wrong?
It's not as if other new IP's haven't seen success (Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, a few others).
