The other downside of that statistic that most people don't think about is that it means that even if it's considered a direct sequel, most games with a dev cycle like that are being worked on by entirely different people than who worked on the first game. And even if some of the people are the same, management may not be, corporate work culture may not be, and the overall vision of the team might not be.

Which means even if you absolutely loved the first game, there's no guarantee you'll like the next game at all, because it might as well have been made by an entirely different company. Sometimes the only thing that stays the same is the name.

Absolutely true and the past decade (probably even longer) has made this more and more apparent. I don't know how much more people can keep falling for Obsidian's "We made New Vegas" pitch.
