They are great games for people like us that played the originals but I don't know if they are AAA sellers in this day and age of Fortnite addicts. My kids play nothing else now. It's been great for me as we haven't been buying them new games but I don't know if that's great for the industry. Didn't know about the Onimusha as that's great news. They have some great older franchises but my concern is that they really hasn't had much in the way of new IP's that have been huge successes.

Fair, but I think there's still a huge core of gamers invested in AAA single player games to make those successes. Fortnite is just the next casual gaming phenomenon to take off, like Wii Sports, Minecraft, Pokemon Go, etc.
Case in point, the new Spider-Man game moved 3.3 million copies in 3 days. Nothing is going to hit Fortnite numbers, but I don't think that's a good barometer for success.
