CoD owns its growing sales to online multiplayer and GTA to its 3d enviroments and gameplay, as you said, so it was about technical progress that affected gameplay and appealed to a broader audience.
So asking what franchises will sell importantly better from now on, under this logic, is like asking which franchises will improve its appeal due to technical progress.
Well, if Nintendo can learn a lesson or two of what Sony has done with the Play, Create and Share series, I would say they might hold some winning cards.
Other than that I wouldn't know.
