16:48 PST / 00:48 GMT (Phil): One of the final sessions of today was an interesting analysis of new IP by EEDAR. As you'd expect, the session was pretty stat-heavy, but I'll round up some interesting points of note.
Firstly - new IP is actually increasing year-on-year, between 2006 and 2009 (although that may well change this year, by all accounts). In that time it jumped from 16 per cent to 22 per cent across the three living room consoles.
But - the majority of that new IP is on the Wii, which accounts for 27 per cent of all new IP, compared to 17 per cent for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 combined.
In terms of genre, action games and shooters boasted the most new IPs on next-gen platforms to-date, but as a proportion of new IPs, it was RPGs that topped the list - almost 40 per cent of RPGs were new IP, compared to just 7 per cent fighting titles.
And if you're wondering which publishers have worked the hardest on trying to bring new intellectual property to market? You might be surprised to find out that Electronic Arts ranks as highest third-party publisher on 360 and PS3, while Destineer tops the Wii chart.
