I think what he means is that games like Halo, Uncharted, Gears of War, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Forza, Gran Turismo, Pokemon, Mario, GTA, God of War, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Bioshock, The Last of Us are all average. 

pretty much... And hipsters are early mainstreamers with bad tastes

But why point out Playstation then, when you apparently aren't appealed by any of the major exclusives from the big three? And oh, you like Mass Effect? That's rather mainstream as well. Mass Effect is thus average (Hey, your own reasoning, not mine)

Not to mention that Playstation has a long list of games that weren't/aren't  AAA mainstream games (Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Bloodborne, Ico, Shadow of the Collosus, Dreams etc.)

 

Also what about JRPGS? They're mainstream in Japan but most of them are niche in the west, does that mean JRPGs are average in Japan, but good in the west? No? Aka your logic is flawed.
