Let's be honest here, nobody hates sequels. They just hate sequels to franchises they don't play. It's not about originality, it's about "why aren't you making games for me". I buy consoles mainly for sequels. I bough my Wii U so I could play New Mario and new Smash. I'd kill someone for a Mega Man Legends 3. I <3 sequels. Just not Call of Duty sequels. I don't like that franchise so fuck them.
I also like big budget games. With lots of explosions and shiny graphics and cutscenes and the works. I like the kind of polish that huge budgets buy (except for Bethesda). I like when my friends play the same games so we can talk about how mind blowingly awesome they are.
Noone has a problem with indie games. I like them well enough, but they're not why I buy a console. They're good to have, but they're not a substitute for sequels. Especially not those juicy big budget sequels.
