I really see no difference in risk they both kind played it safe. like  the over the shoulder 3rd person shooter, and fps shooter were the hottest market at the time so what risk are we talking about here. lets not forget about VR which really was trying to take gaming to a whole new level of immersion but failed. 

Nier, Watch Dogs, and Evil Within were on PS3/360 too.

And IPs like Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc absolutely didn't play it safe; they didn't copy what was already popular, they forged their own style and identity.

The 8th gen did have some cool new IPs too; I did quite enjoy Splatoon, Hellblade, and Ori, but the 7th gen definitely had more standouts.

I was talking about nier automata, and watch dogs and evil with were designed for 8th gen, as the 360/ps3 version are really butchered version of the games that take away from the experience.

As for Bioshock and mass effect they were still in a very popular genre at the time everyone was making thirdperson shoulder shooters and FPS sure they had their own twist and elements  but they weren't anything risky for example hack and slash were a genre that was dying on 360/ps3. I don't even recall one hack and slash doing really great sales wise except DMC 4 and GOW3 did did like 3 and 5 million each.
