Combined, these things force gaming to once again be limited into the shadows. With girls around, you can't talk about playing Xbox360 (at least I can't) and in front of other guys you can't talk about the Wii - 1- . So with gaming going back in the closet (yea the Wii aint the only thing in there anymore) gamers are receding back into the basement. Bad enough that you got money causing extreme problems (Bungie-Activision-Infinty Ward butthump triangle anyone?) but costs keep climbing, sequels keep churning, studios keep closing - 2 -, and genres keep narrowing - 3 -.

1 - I don't know what is your problem to talk about a console with friends that pretty much enjoy gaming too. With a chick I understand that though.
2 - I haven't read your entire OP, but, many of the studios closed this gen is due to HD pricey projects that flopped miserably and didn't leave margin for recover for such companies.
3 - As a Wii and DS owner I have the prespective that it was the opposite. I never played stuff like Nintendogs, Brain Trainning, Wii Fit and Wii Sports.
