Not if you are a minority, because the plurality almost always comes first when it comes to video game products. Deviations from this approach by big business are rare because, as stated, deviations constitute a risk as opposed to a safe and assured profit margin.
Don't believe me?
Ask yourself what happened to the space simulator genre and Six Degrees of Freedom games such as Descent.
The answer to that is that those genres, along with old-school arena shooters, are only coming back thanks to indie and grass-roots communities and developers and start-ups. The minority had to make themselves what they wanted, because the plurality wouldn't give it to them anymore.
EDIT: Coincidentally, this is also partly the reason why ARR's first expansion has to do with DRAGONS, because everyone likes DRAGONS and DRAGONS are COOL and DRAGONS will SELL.
