Ok Lego Indy Jones isn't a sequel, but is it selling because it's innovative or because it's associated with Lego, Indiana Jones, and the Lego Star Wars series? Games which are based on films are usually really bad (unlike the lego series ones) but end up selling loads anyway.

But as I said before I love sequels, but I think MissMisa is right in that most innovative games that aren't sequels are generally overlooked (such as the ones mentioned in my previous post). GTA did well originally because of it's shock value, not because of its originality, in the same way that Manhunt got its publicity.
