Would an industry crash be such a bad thing?

If another crash happened it would all be the FPS genre's fault, there's too many of them. We need innovation and variety. Hopefully, if it happened it wouldn't affect any of the console manufacturers like the 1983 crash did hugely. Budgets need to go down too, we don't need the best graphics, effects ever etc. It's all about the gameplay.

But i don't think a crash is likely again, just a slump maybe

Get rid of FPS and what are people going to migrate to?  There is not some sort of essential biological drive to play videogames as a form of entertainment, so people are as likely to go do other things, unless something replaces FPS.  This doesn't diminish the reality of an excess of FPS though. 

People just need to try different games, they will be surprised how much variety there is. But, there shouldn't be a safe genre at all, developers have become too dependent on it
