A few thoughts (Gaming)
In 2008 alone, EA released Mirror’s Edge, Deadspace, Spore, Battlefield Bad Company, Army of Two, Burnout Paradise, just to name a few. Not all new IP, but even the titles that were part of established franchises were something of a departure from the norm, and well regarded. And most of those games were also considered commercial failures.
How I don't know. The original Mirror's Edge sold 2.5 million copies. That's a nice haul for an AAA game. It sold more than:
Twisted Metal 2
Halo CE Anniversary
Half Life 2
N Sane Trilogy
Bioshock 2
Final Fantasy XIII
Doom (2016)
*according to VGchartz
Especially since it was a good game, calling it a failure seems… wrong.
