AFAIK isn't this more because gamedev and general dev has gone separate ways? Gamedev has become so highly specialized due to the lackluster quality games used to have? (There are plenty of ps1 to ps2 games that handles like garbage despite them being good games). That has I think resulted in more "quality" of AAA games but everything is at best a very predictable bland grey goop.
