Mostly on consoles but this applies for PCs as well.
Long story short around 2010 we had games hitting 200 million to develop. The average AAA game passed 100-200 million and sonething like Spiderman 2 apparently cost 300 million.
Nintendo arguably checked out on traditional consoles after the game cube.
This year we are into the 4th year of the next generation. There's very few games comparatively worth buying compared with previous generations or even the last one.
This trend I noticed with PS4 and Xbox one. It's worse now. Games aren't getting better either with microtransactions and loot boxes.
For me gaming peaked Xbox360 and PS3 era and I think you could make an argument for PS2.
Year 4 that's halfway through a generations lifespan. A comparison might be with 2000-2004 or 2006-10. Look at the amount of great games in those years by comparison.
