Well, speaking for myself, I'm definately losing interest in games; Oblivion is the first game in a year that I've been able to play for more than one hour a day (though not every day, sometimes I don't feel like gaming at all), and even in Oblivion I've found myself becoming slowly bored by tedious subquests and corny plot devices, also, it's a very shallow game compared to some other games I've played (which I believe is a trend in gaming; instant gratification).
I think games are becoming more widespread and at the same time (more) people are losing interest in them, or don't play as often as they did years ago; so while more people are playing games these days, more people also play less (methinks). Mindless sequels and very few *quality* releases in the past years may also have something to do with it.
