>>46428661Them putting the effort and money to making the game all fans have always wanted would double their sales at best because of how well the games are already selling. If they tried they would need to top themselves pretty much every year.
That's why they move the bar up so slowly or why they always move one step forwards and two backwards. They could've given us Gen 8 with 1080p but I'd be willing to bet my left nut they gave us 720p just so they can artificially manufacture progress when they make Gen 9 in 1080p.
They know they can use the same engine for half a decade, insert around 100 new cartoon monsters with different moves, coat it with new areas and music and it'll sell well above 10 million copies guaranteed. Rinse and repeat every 1-2 years for maximum profit.
Trying is just not worth for them.
