I have way less time to play than I used to so the overall number of games I play per year is way lower while the number of games I own per generation are way higher. As a kid I would play through all the games I had (sometimes repeatedly) and still be clamoring to rent something from the video store. Now I buy games because I have more disposable income and they are cheaper (I don't buy many titles on release day) but the odds of me actually ever playing them are getting smaller and smaller.
The series I love have not changed though so those tried and true franchises (Zelda, Metroid, most Marios) get purchased and more importantly get my time.
Tekken I loved but this newest one I will likely not play with them hiding characters behind a paywall. I bought 7 and barely played it anyway. With that series in particular playing in the living room with friends was where it was at and people just don't come over like that anymore (we all have wives, kids, other commitments). So that has changed.
Final Fantasy itself changed and I don't really care for the direction it went after 10. So those are likely out of the rotation.
I do find myself liking competitive games that don't require much time. I love the Splatoons, and my son got me playing some Fortnite. While not as good as sitting around with buddies and playing Goldeneye those games scratch that itch well enough.
