I'm not big on most FPS games, cover shooters, WRPGs or serious racers. I'll play and enjoy the best examples of them but I tire of them quickly and don't want to play them too often. While there still a decent number of good games outside that list its slimmer pickings then last gen I'd say.
It depends what games you like how much one gen supposedly invalidates another. In my case if you hate the cover mechanic the number of 3rd person games you can play this gen is reduced significantly. Also one good game in genre doesn't suddenly render all previous efforts worthless.
And yes indies do make up for some of that but not entirely, and smart phones are a non starter as touch controls are awful.
