That's just stupid. For somebody gaming as long as you say you have I can't believe the problem with this industry is not glaring to you.

Example:

In the past SEGA had about 8 teams. Each of those teams had at least 4 IP's the rotated between. Between those 8 teams SEGA had a lot of games in a lot of different genres. Let looks at DreamCast era. They had:

Sonic

Phantasy Star

Jet Set Radio

Shenmue

Crazy Taxi

Space Channel 7

ChuCHu Rocket

Samba De Amigo

Now SEGA is just Sonic, Yakuza, Persona/ Shin Megami. Sonic Team used to be responsible for Sonic/Phantasy Star/ Samba de Amigo/Puyo pop. This happening across the entire industry. Big companies with treasure troves of IP's being reduced to 2 or 3 games. CAPCOM: Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter. BANDAI NAMCO: Souls, Tekken, anime fighters. Outside of those Remasters!!

My friend. The amount of Remasters coming out should shine a light on the problem it self!

EDIT: I don't care if its reviving old IP's or making new ones; we need more variety. I love Yakuza but who asked for Pirate Yakuza? We just had 8, Gaiden, the Samurai one, in a very short amount of time. How about throw in something new. 

Nobody cares about Phantasy Star, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 7, ChuChuRocket or Samba De Amigo.

They are called dead IPs for a reason. Same with F-Zero, Earthbound, Banjo Kazooie, Breath of Fire, Viewtiful Joe,  Jak and Daxter, etc

That pirate Yakuza game will likely sell more than all the above mentioned games which is why these companies continue making more games from the same series.

Sonic, Yakuza, SMT/Persona keeps getting more games because these are the games people care about. Which is why SEGA/Atlus is making spinoffs of said games, Metaphor is basically a spinoff of SMT series (i.e. Soul Hackers 2 is sequel to Soul Hackers 1 which was a spinoff of SMT).

There's enough games old re-releasing and new coming out to satisfy everyone.

You dont like what games are coming out?

Quit gaming then. Get a new hobby.

Edit: Or maybe play games from more than 1 region or company.

Shenmue got a new game just a few years ago from fans who kickstarted it. A new Jet Set Radio is happening same with Crazy Taxi and fans of Jet Set Radio keep making tribute games from Hover. Lethal League and most recently Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Earthbound series didn't die. Ito decided he no longer wanted to make more games. He told the stories he wanted to tell and he has his hand in many industries including as a chef. F-Zero got a new entry and a few tribute games like Fast RMX. Redout games and such. The demand is there. As for Banjo. Look as Smash and Yooka Laylee. Again demand is there. I never heard of Space Channel 7. Must be a sequel to Space Channel 5 I never knew about. PSOII does well so again there is demand for Phantasy Star Online or otherwise.
