Cough, Darksouls, bloodborne, nioh, cough. Genres are just morphing also, like RPG's adopting H&S mechanics. I would pay for another proper DMC, GOW or NGS but a period will come when there hasn't been a release in a long while and everyone gets hyped and nostalgic at the same time for...oh, let's say DMC 2 or Devil may cry 5 or DMC devil may cry rebooted again...then it'll rain and when a rains, in the gaming industry, it effing pours man.
Also, I have a theory that internet contection speeds are getting fast enough at the base level to allow for much faster H&S style combat in MMO's and MMORPGs so the MMO's that are being story boarded now or perhaps in eary development may have much faster and more fluid combat at least akin to say, TW3 or Nioh and perhaps the ones that go into development in the 9th gen will be capable of DMC or GOW fluidity. |
Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Nioh aren't hack and slash games, the closest any of them is to a hack and slash is Nioh. Still the combat, pacing and general flow of the games is very different from what I would call a hack and slash.
I would consider this a different genre entirely.

If you disqualify anything that deviates from the strict formula of DMC, then of course you're not going to have a lot of high selling Hack and Slash games. Because the formula evolved, which is kind of what happens with most game genres. That's like not counting any game as an RPG unless it's turn based.
