This generation sucks donkey balls in terms of new IP.

Last gen we had Bioshock, Uncharted, Gears of War, Xenoblade, Dead Space, Vanquish, so many great new franchises.

You say that as a Wii U and Switch player.

PS4 has some amazing new IP's that you wouldn't play cause its a PS4, sadly.

The reason I don't play them isn't cos they're on PS4, but because they simply don't look very interesting to me. I could walk to EB Games and buy a PS4 right now if it had games I felt I couldn't go without, just like I bought an Xbox 360 last gen because I didn't want to miss out on Bioshock, Bayonetta, or Gears of War.

Uncharted didn't exactly launch to great success or acclaim, vanquish bombed, dead space died a pretty shitty death fairly quickly and even Xenoblade buggered many fans with it's sequel. I agree that this gen hasn't gotten much new IP worthy of the 7th gen but the games you chose to highlight aren't perhaps the best to showcase that. 

Uncharted 1 was still good and from 2 onwards it became great, and Dead Space 1 and Vanquish were superb, the crappiness of DS3 and Vanquish's lack of sales do not change that. Likewise, Xenoblade X being a step down doesn't counteract the first game being an amazing new IP.
