I don't think this is surprising.

Tears may have had an exciting trailer, but it's still a sequel and is operating in the same basic framework as it's predecessor. People are excited but at it's CORE it's the same type of game being made in the same generation. It's going to have a lot of the same map, going to have the same controls, has the same engine and visuals. It's a known quantity.

XVI is something brand new, with lots of influence from one of the most popular ongoing games on the market today but in a completely different genre and engine.

YoshiP is also a Rockstar right now. The only named game creator spearheading a project that would get more pull is Kojima. I might have said Yoko Taro at one point, but him spreading his name across a bunch of budget titles and mobile games nobody cares about has definitely waned his value.
