I like this thread. Good job Bodhesatva. Maybe its the kitten avatar that has me intrigued.
Maybe that's what Nintendo was trying to tell us oh so many years ago. RPGs and Racing Simulators are in a decline, so it would be silly to gear the next system to have better looking RPGs and Racing simulators, since the market for those are clearly shrinking.
As for games like Madden, the sales remain the same every year, but the investment developing a next generation console continues to rise, thus the bottom line takes a hit every time a new system comes out.
