Too much of the same thing isn't good. Military themed FPS games come to mind. Zombie killing games. What else is a bit too common? No. I need to kill more people to satisfy my bloodlust.

Well then, it seems I'm one of the most hipster gamers ever... I never got into the sequel/Cod wagon. I love every single one of those "underrated" games, and I never played COD, and neither has a couple of my friends. But in all seriousness, I swear to god, people really DO need to try new things, or games will be stuck in 1 giant loop forever and die off, unless Nintendo does it again and fix the gaming industry in 1 fell swoop... again.
Nintendo fixing the gaming industry in 1 fell swoop is as likely as Unicorns being real

This is certainly some interesting (and slightly worrying) data. Yet, I'm not all that surprised. People like to stick to what's comfortable to them. I do like to try something new and fresh every so often, though.
...I still want to play Okami.

Nintendo fixing the gaming industry in 1 fell swoop is as likely as Unicorns being real Fact: Unicorns are real, people just fluffed up the myth a bit. They're actually a bit less white. And a bit heavier. And less horse-like.Anyway, keep in mind that 83's crash was only limited to North America's console game market. It wasn't a universal, worldwide thing. This is.

I think the biggest thing we need to realize is that we don't want "innovation" we want "progress".
What I mean is like this... Take a look at Pokemon. The main series. There were changes in each generation which is honestly a good move. Keep the foundation the same but add or change something about small stuff. As much as I bash CoD I can int imagine that things change as well in those games. Maybe they changed the running speed, how fast the guns shoot, etc.
The point is gamers always want a sense of progress so why not give them that?

I wouldn't say gamers are killing the industry. I'd go with all the false innovation. I think that innovation outside of the gaming portion (by that I mean with motion controls, virtual reality, etc) is what should just go away. What I feel is needed is more diversity in games. Not sure how to explain this but think of kinect games, they can easily be played on a controller but false innovation just has to kick in. Then think of games like Portal and the mechanics incorporated into the game. I feel we need more of those to have developers expand on the ideas. I'm not saying every game needs to be its own genre, I'm just saying more of those should exist and games should be played on controllers. I probably didn't explain my idea too well but hopefully some sort of understanding is there.

I'm sorry, but no. I find it rather patronizing and kind of insulting that you would generalize such a gigantic field of people as the fault of a problem just because a certain part of it wants something new. I do want to see changes, and yes, I do understand that in comparison to the entire world as evidenced by the sales, people who want something new are kind of a minority as it seems that the entirety of the gaming world wants to gravitate towards the same s**t over and over again, but if you're going to go that way, why are you blaming everybody? It's not my fault that games I find innovative sell poorly and games that are constantly rehashed are selling insanely well, and you honestly believe that I'm still part of the problem!? Are you assuming that the same people who want innovation are the same people who also end up buying the same games over and over again? For f**k's sake, if people who did actually had the mental capacity to write down articles that you've shown as representing the majority opinion, then they would take up the majority like they actually are in real life!

I think the biggest thing we need to realize is that we don't want "innovation" we want "progress". I like where you're going. The kind of games we have are good, why not try to make them better? Innovation is good too, but innovation and progress go hand-in-hand. Step forward rather than hold still, or we won't see anything get better, which is more important than new, at least in my opinion.
