Um.. FPS games can be incredibly innovative as well... Just saying

It's not that, it's all the fratbros that overhype it, much like the sports games and the like. Even though that may be a big market now, who knows when it will die out, then what? What will Microsoft fall back on once it's key demographic goes? Hence why I am saying that there is no innovation as there is nothing new being introduced and it's relying on the same tactics as the preceding system. The Developers may continue to make the same games of the genres as they always have been, but if that's all that the X Box One will have then it will have trouble as time goes on.

This also applies to the Wii U and PS4 too. It's all about the demographic, who is more likely to buy the game, and is does it have replay value? Sure a developer can belt out another game a year or so later to make more cash riding off the success of the previous title (Any Madden, NBA, etc. Game). However a game that has re-playability may not get money immediately but in the long term attracts a solid base that will last for a long time. It even increases chances of people buying other games made on that platform and supports the developers at the same time. I know this sounds like I am copying and pasting quotes from a link earlier in the thread, but if one thinks about it. If the developers and creators treat their customers as people and give them a product that will last, it encourages them to buy more of the range of products or when the new big thing they develop or create is released.

I agree~ The genre sort of plays a role in it all though. For example...Terraria. I love that game, and look forward to the massive update coming soon. But as of right now, I have over 500 hours put into the game. That's the most time I've put into any game ever, and over 10 times the amount I've put in any professional licensed game. As long as the game gives you reasons to come back, you'll come back.
