Yeah they lack innovative IPs and only a few new ones surface every decade

Why do you need new IPs when one IP can be used in fighting games, strategy games, plattform games, racing games, soccer games, golf games, tennis games, rpgs, puzzle games etc. 

 

New IPs is not the same as innovation. 

 

Especially if the new IPs do exactly the same as the established ones.
