I don't think playstation or consoles have becoming dull / as dull as gamers.
Games that offer a new and fun experiences often get overlooked. If you look at Playstation over the this and last gen and see the games we as a group failed to support:
1) Puppeteer
2) Ico
3) SotC
4) Modnation Racers
5) Tearaway
6) Motorstorm Apocalypse
7) Buzz
8) Rain
9) the last Sly game
10) The Shoot
11) Fight: Lights Out
12) Gravity Rush
Chances are:
1) Gravity Rush 2
2) Dreams
3) TLG
4) Days Gone
Won't sell so hot and might not even break even.
Another great thing about the PS1 and PS2 generations was Arcades and the leap to 3D.
Arcades bought a lot of variety of games to consoles. From simple fighting and racing to dancing, light gun and quirky experiences.
With the leap to 3D we got a whole range of experiences and iterations of 2D games. Now that we have done it for so long is harder to bring something to add to 3D. VR might be on the table but when it will become mainstream is unknown.
