Ther's been at least 5 Tomb Raiders already, a couple of ridge racers, a load of FIFA games that are almost identical and even more sequels coming out soon.
What I'm trying to say is won't someone bring out something fresh and new nobody has tried.
Take examples of Deus Ex(a good mix of shooting and RPG exploring)
Vib ribbon (strange but addictive) and what about The Sims (different from many other games around but addictive as well).
There may well be a new genre in the near future as the consoles get more powerful. With more new genres we can bring more of a good range of games. People could use several genres in their games and bring out something new and different to the gaming world.
And the companies may benifit from it with big sales on their new product.

Not even the likes of Shiggy (Miyamoto) can live with out a Zelda sequel. No complaints though.

I agree with all you guys are saying. We need more variety and fresh thinking, in the games industry.

However, we must remember that sequels are a fact of life...
In gaming: The Final Fantasy series...
In movies: All 4 Alien films...
In life: My parents have three kids :o)

The playstation is good but they do bring out too many sequels like nintendo and Sega. They need to make sequels so it satify's people. They try and make money to make people buy the next part of the game but sequels don't come out with the same results. Come to think of it most of the companies can't think of anything new.

The playstation is the one with all the sequals, most other consoles keep to releasing different sorts of games and characters and do very well with it. The best varied type games I think are on the Dreamcast, I mean, look at Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio and Space Channel 5, all very original games. (I know crazy taxis been done before, by the by.)
