Nintendo is a little better, though even there, I have to admit, while I would have absolutely loved a game like Super Mario Galaxy in 1997, these days I just can't get motivated by it.
Xbox and Playstation games seem to be fairly homogenous, though-- there isn't a lot of outward difference between Battlefield, Call of Duty or Modern Warfare to me, that makes them stand out from eachother. There are some gems that catch my eye, like Saints Row, Tomb Raider and The Last of Us, but then, those aren't really games that I'd want to play on a console, as I don't want to be stuck playing them with a game controller; it still baffles me that FPS and other games where you aim with the camera are so popular with that clumsy damned thing.
It might be interesting to see a few new games steal the show that aren't First or Third Person Shooters. I'm not really asking for a platformer, but it'd be great if someone came up with something new that really makes sense for a console release. That might even motivate me to part with my money.
