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.

Automata wasn't a new IP; the original Nier game was a 7th gen IP. And as Mar1217 says, lesser graphics doesn't change the fact that those IP debuted on PS3/360. I actually played Evil Within on 360 and found it to be a good experience.

And being an FPS or TPS alone doesn't guarantee success; in fact the more crowded the market the harder it is to stand out and beat the competition. And there were plenty of 7th gen new IPs that were not FPS/TPS; Bayonetta, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Assassin's Creed, Souls, Wii Sports, Nier, Motorstorm, Puppeteer, etc.
