He's right though... games are beginning to look more and more the same, they continue to go down this trend of being like other games but with one marketable gimmick different as the standout feature. The imagine above does a good job at expressing the problem, but it could easily be extended to at least 15 different games from the past 2 years, which is just sad.

I've no problem with these games in general, and will obviously buy the blockbuster sequels like Uncharted, Battlefielde etc... they have their place and they're great products. But it's a shame that any game that tries a new art style or gameplay idea or anything outside the rigid 'male guy shoots lots of enemies' is relegated to the downloadable space or handheld consoles, as no one will fund it properly.

Damn, didn't see this before, but double post inbound and all

I agree with this sentiment, it's that you see these kind of games completely monopolize top-tier development, with games (aside from Nintendo) that aren't like this are rare, or are downgraded to the DLC systems or worse

 Indeed, which i think is why people trying to spite him for making Pokemon games are kind of missing the point. Yeah Pokemon doesn't innovate or change anything significient - but it's the only thing on the market anything like it. It's not part of the 'problem' (If you see it as one).

 I'd also add Sony up there with Nintendo for at least pushing this sort of thing - while most of their efforts are directed in the downloadable / handheld space (Papaton, Flower, Sound Shapes, Pixeljunk) they actually have the balls to put up the money for the development of stuff like Heavy Rain, Last Guardian, LittleBigPlanet etc.
