The thing is that new IPs are amongst the most mainstream of all games. The likes of Wii Sports, Nintendogs and Brain Training/Age opened up gaming to vast new demographics and are the best selling games of all time.
As for the point concerning publishers being scared of new IPs, I agree. In an age of very high development costs, one can't really blame many developers for playing it safe and creating new entries in existing series.
