Nah, it's getting better every year. Adding crappy games doesn't change the huge backlog of great games I have.

My response to the points:

  1. Don't buy games until reviews are good - don't buy on release day, and certainly don't preorder
  2. See 1
  3. See 1, but replace "games" with "PC hardware"
  4. We probably need a law here, but until then, see 1
  5. This is stupid. Buy indies, they don't pull this crap.

Yeah. Pretty much boils down to, "There is fewer good triple A games coming out, and less significant hardware advancements." This doesn't mean its getting worse, just means its getting better slower. Even if you read it as "getting worse as compared to other platforms" it doesn't really work seeing as all these issues affect other platforms just as much, and often more.
