Look at Mirrors Edge and Little Big Planet. Both brought some sort of innovation to the table, especially LBP, yet they have been meet with tepid sales.

Without a doubt, sequels to games have been wanted and enjoyed by gamers for some time, and it is this ability to drag one game to another which keeps us coming back for more. Speaking specifically about development time, we have seen that with the racing genre - Need For Speed particularly, that it can be done, a solid game can be released within a year (think Hot Pursuit 2 to Most Wanted) but at the same time, it seems as though more time needs to be spent to develop a game that will please the masses - think Carbon to ProStreet. All in all, I think fans would be more content with sequels if that extra time was spent to perfect the game. GTA and Midnight Club are prime examples, and I think the questions should not be when will the game be released, but what does it offer. And those who focus on content rather than time are getting their games right. Great article there Adam.
