About the "eigth gen is only a prettier seventh gen" argument

A bigger variety like?  What do Destiny, Borderlands, Call Of Duty, Battlefield and Killzone have in common?  All man, I'm just getting started.  Where is the platformers?  If it's not a Grand Theft Auto clone out there, where they at?  You have a better variety with Indie games.

Are you telling me that the PS3 and XBox 360 didn't have any diversity? Only FPS games? You think the PS4 and XBO won't share a similarly varied library?

I sure hope you can do better than that. 

Yep, shooters & racers.

Heavy Rain
Demon's Souls
Beyond: Two Souls
God of War
Puppeteer
Ratchet & Clank
Infamous
Journey
Flower
Little Big Planet
Echochrome
Tales of Xilia
DC Universe Online
Novastrike
Rain
Ni No Kuni
MLB: The Show

Should I keep going? I didn't even include shooters or racers. And I haven't even started with the multiplatform not available on Nintendo platforms... And I only did the PS3. That list is already as diverse as what Nintendo offers on their home consoles. If not more. What will happen when I also include all the non exclusive?

Now, why would the diversity go away for the PS4 and XBO? Developers will keep on trying new things. Be it first or third parties, or indies. The variety will be there, just as it's always been.
