Yet there are few games that sell as much as Mario lol. Yooka-Laylee kickstarter should also tell you otherwise. |
Just because a small niche group of fans on the internet decide to fund something like Yooka-Laylee doesn't mean games like that drive the modern market.
Look at Wonderful 101 on the Wii U.
Or any Top 10 NPD software sales chart for the last 4+ years. The industry is driven by violent/dark action games and sports titles and not a hell of a lot in between. Mario, Minecraft, and LEGO have their place, almost nothing else does though, even stuff like LittleBigPlanet is having problems selling.
