I read what was posted. I don't agree. There are plenty of new ips and plenty of them have new gameplay mechanics that are good and not just gimmicks.

Like I said read it. It's not an attack on new IPs, we are for them. It's about new IPs that fail because of bad marketing. We think that some new IPs could do better but try harder to appeal and succeed without changing much. Simple things like a title could put people off. And we talk about the style appealing to the hardcore and then being described to appeal to the casual. There's a conflinct there so it ends up being bought by none.
We simply want new and unique IPs to succeed but the developers/publishers need to give it the best chance possible.

While marketing is important. A game should be able to stand on its mechanix and get good sales by word of mouth. If a game fails there is no one to blame but the game makers. If they make a good game word will spread. I have seen it on these very forums with XBLA games and PSN games. There are a ton of new IPS on Steam also. Many games cater to nich generes and dont focus on the hardcore at all.
New ips are succeding just fine. there is no issue.
