The RPG industry doesn't need new games or new systems. every year we get a dozen or so new ones. What it needs is a new hit. Something that gets noticed by those people outside the Industry.
So we agree or partially agree that it is a marketing issue? I agree that the hobby (or industry) could really use a Hit game.
I would love to see a new entry level rpg released by someone with deep enough pockets to advertise it, and get it on the shelves of toy stores.
Hasbro could do it with an entry level RPG version of Heroscape.

LOL Hasbro would be competing with itself!
We have always had plenty of other systems.
Herein lies the problem. Too many other systems. We need 3rd parties to come together and have the equivalent of the d20 system and support it TOGETHER, but without all the stupid licensing gimmicks. Then lazy D&D players like me don't have to waste money on "neat games" that will never have enough players in my area to ever bother with.
Until then, you're just going to have 15 other systems all with a "few" players.
