Quick-list. Not wholly accurate. Debatable 'new' IPs.
Looks to me like the CoD audience quickly jumped into the new gen and this gen is frontloaded.
Without the 1m+ shovelware cashins that the Wii/DS provided, there's less money in the pot for new IPs.
Install base argument is mute. I don't see how this gen is going to match last gen for successful (1m+) new IPs.
