They would, and they would be inaccurate as those games have not been out for very long. Sure, the majority of sales happen in the first few weeks, but plenty of sales get racked up over the years, especially for games that are fairly meh, in a year populated by bad/broken AAA releases. Wait for them to go through a few steam sales, and the numbers will drastically change.Alatar The Red said:

So gamers should support every piece of innovation for its sake? Just because something is innovative doesnt mean people should automatically like it. Look at Apple, they never released the first smartphone, tablet or mp3 player - but when they did they did it was at a time when those things were wanted.
I'd like to point out that much of Super Mario Brothers sales figures are greatly inflated due to it being bungled with the system for a long time.
About people wanting to go with the safe bet. With stuff they already know. That's often attributed to new games being so expensive. Also I find it hard to believe that Ocarina of Time has only sold 4 Million. It seems like it's been released on every Nintendo platform under the sun.

Can't help being reminded of this when reading the title.
OT:
Gotta agree with what some people have already said. Just because many gamers cry out for innovation does not mean they are duty bound to leap on every new thing like it's the second coming of Christ. Some ideas capture our imagination and some things do not. Ultimately, people will vote with their wallets.
