The Death of Console Gaming...?

Someone in the Wii Forum on Gamespot made a post concerning what they considered "the death of console gaming".

Basically, the guy said that game developers have stopped taking risks, and that all we've been seeing lately is sequels to original IP's, and more Call of Duty clones.

And in a way this is true. People in the gaming world HAVE stopped producing new and innovative games. They stick with what they know sells, and run with it. But this isn't entirely the developer's fault. It's also OUT fault as gamers. If we didn't buy the next big Call of Duty game, then the developer would stop making new ones. They'd have to go back to the drawing board and find a new formula that works. So in the end, if console gaming DOES die, it'll be just as much our fault as the 3rd party developers that bring us games like Dead Space and Epic Mickey.

And on the note of original IP's; there is only so much creativity in the world. At some point, the well of ideas is going to run dry, and original games are going to stop coming out. This is inevitable. Just some food for thought.

P.R. (Post Rant) Wow, short post today... And by the way, this is just filler while I work on my Kirby's Epic Yarn review. It's taking longer than I thought it would. And this post was inevitable, so nows as good a time as any to get it out there.
