Probably the internets fault.
Before the internet really became big, you would just go into a store and see a box art and buy a game. Go home and find out if it is fun or not. Heck, you hardly even knew a game was coming out until it was out.
Come internet and you know years in advance and all you have to look forward to is trailer and pics for months/years until the game releases. People spend longer waiting for a game than playing it, thus they want pretty pictures and cool vids to show people of what they are going to be playing for a few weeks when it comes out. Then on to next hyping of cool looking game.
