Why so many games with bad-medicre reviews since November?

I believe this is the pattern at the start of every gen. Devs experiment with new ideas. Some fall flat. Some become Uncharted and Assassins Creed.

I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with new ideas.

It has something to do with devs knowing WHO the people are that buy consoles day1 and therefore there is no need to put effort into games they will be bought regardless of effort.

Easy money for devs  unless you do this on a Nintendo system of course..

Really?

When you see how PS3 Skyrim  being on a then 60m userbase was not enough of a reason for the dev and publisher to even try to optimize the game then you know what to expect from devs when its about a sub 10m userbase.

And according to vhchartz it sold 5.31m   so it shows that the dev/publisher did the right decision by not optimizing the game. If the userbase buys it regardless of quality they deserve a even worse  next installment of the series.

Thank god Wii U will not get any 3rd party game anymore, it shows which console has really quality gamers.

OT. I would like the last gen threshold to be lowered, and reviewers to using more marks from the scale how it pretty much should be. Mediocre game should get a 5, now a 5 or below usually means an almost unplayable turd. So I look forward to it, but I still think we'll get back to the old ways.
