We all know the PS3 is no looser at all. It could have been bigger, specially after PS2, but that doesn't change the fact that is a hell of a console.

By the way, it is really impressive how the gaming market has grown. Seriously now, do we really have to worry about the future of gaming as every now and then someone says?

i don't worry about the future of gaming, i worry about the future of certain gaming genres

What genres then?

You should read that article, it's on Gamrfeed:

I don't agree with that article at all. My god... stating that music genre is dying, specially on this generation, is plain crazy, regardless of the fact that Activision decided not to make a two or three music games per year anymore (or at least for a while).

Oversaturation of the market or the fact that some genres just naturally provide less games a year than others (because the demand is smaller) or that genres that seemed to be mass apealing are now just niche doesn't mean that this genres are dying, and I'm not afraid it will happen either.

2d platformers, point and click adventures, on rail shooters, strategy rpg games...

We had are having lots of games of this genres this generation, many of them of great quality, and you could say that some genres were provided with more games than what gamers are willing to buy.

There are trends, there are ups and downs, of course, but I don't see any of those genres dying. At all.
