It's because of the big franchise sellers like MGS, RE5, and Mario that you have the more meaningful smaller elements...
MGS paid for Silent Hill (and kept it afloat despite more recent ones performing poorly)
Resident Evil paid for Okami and Zak and Wiki
Perfect Dark Zero paid for Viva Pinata
Unreal paid for Gears of War
Tom Clancy (games) paid for Red Steel
Mario paid for Wii Sports/Play/Fit
And so on. The unfortunate thing is that many of our true favorite games were paid for by re-hash #5. It's a price we pay for unique games that will never see finances go in the black.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
