The biggest problem I see with languishing AAA franchises lately (eg, Elder Scrolls or GTA) is that they're not in development for years and years. Management has made the bizarre decision to simply sit out an entire console generation before even starting pre-production. I remember the wait between Daggerfall and Morrowind felt like forever, and that involved the departure of the lead developers. That was only six years! Skyrim to TES6 will be 15+ years. If you're a kid, Skyrim is some retro game and you probably don't care about the next one. This seems like a huge strategic mistake.
