Yes, games are definitely less original these days. I blame Wii Fit... just kidding. I really think it is Sony and Microsoft's faults for pushing graphics to the point where it costs $20 million for any title on their console. Third parties are less likely to make a new and original game if it is really risky and they know that they will lose so much money if it is a flop.
I guarantee we will see a lot more originality on the Wii for two reasons: cheap development and wiimote.
