Why do so many people want new IPs to fail?

There seems to be a new theme doing the rounds in the gaming community at the moment and that is that there is a large, and vocal, crowd of people who appear to just want new IPs to fail. For years we screamed out that we want the industry to be more original, try new things and bring us something new and exciting, and for years the industry ignored us and made billions just repeating the same game over and over again. However with the arrival of a new generation a few publishers have taken the plunge and piled money into some brand new IPs and without fail every single one of them has been preceded by a tsunami of articles and forum posts predicting and even hoping for failure.
