Ok, not to sound rude but what's the point of the thread? What are you trying to say? 

I really do not mean to sound rude but no reasons were given in OP.

Breakout IPs are good for the industry and who doesn't like a new massive cultural phenomena?

It's not just massive sellers though, new, successful IPs in general seem to be massively down. Most of the biggies have declined/maybe declining. Where's their replacements?

First off CoD and NSMB shouldn't be on the list. Also few of those games were mandatory items with hardware. Even if you look at the list, most of the games are bad, uninspired casual shit.

If there is a decline in people buying established IPs and new IPs, it might not actually be a bad thing. It could mean that sales are spread out amongst a wider range of games. That would be a good thing. Or it could be smaller console install base to sell to because of WiiUs and, to a lesser extent, XB1s failure to shift off shelves.

I think we need more data.
