Community question: Do we need more Dynasty Warriors?

Today Dynasty Warriors 7 was released and many of the fans have been picking it up right left and center from their pre-orders. The first ever Dynasty Warriors was released back in 1997 by Koei looking to make battles on an epic scale with traditional Japanese style of game development. The goal was simple and they achieved exactly what they were looking for. Over the years we have seen many spin-offs of the Dynasty Warrior franchise normally coming down to the same mechanic of tap one button repeatedly and slay thousands of enemies as if they were nothing. At this point when we tally up how many spin-offs and originals there are however there are around 19 different games out ranging from the PS1 to PSP to PS3 that take on the "Dynasty Warrior" style gameplay. The question is though... Has this gameplay style been worn out? It seems the majority of gamers these days unless they were fans to begin with have strayed away from these iconic games.
