I find that "main stream" games sell well due to the fact people know what to expect. I'm pretty anal when it comes to controls in games and when i see a new FPS i have no idea how it controls or plays. But i know i can buy any cod and know the game will control perfectly for me. But when i have played crysis, BattleField, killzone, and countless other FPS games the controls are horrible in them and it leads me to stop buying any shooter games other then CoD.
The same works for me and i assume others when i want to buy a JRPG. I want tradional battles and no JRPGs due this anymore, so i just stopped buying them. I was really looking forward to Ni no kuni, but i tried the demo and the combat system was horrible.
Another major problem this gen which lead to reduced sales in games, was how they would change the camera angle or Fov in sequels. Saints Row the third and borderlands2 both changed the camera/fov and the games became unplayable for me. Both series i will never buy again. The newer cods also did this and why i never bought them.
