Squilliam, the Wii says "Hi!" to you comment. What you see is that, as more money flows into the industry, the industry does more research and attempts to capitalize on trends out there. They then overdo it. Things like controllers do get standardized and the beat goes on. A greater offender is game genres. At this point and time, we have an epidemic of Tower Defense games. There are money types ordering developers to make the a "Tower Defense" game. I went to a local game developer Meetup recently and mentioned the "Tower Defense" epidemic, and one guy said a suit had told him to get him a Tower Defense game.
