Don't forget Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. With Dreamfall, that pretty much makes the two highest profile AG releases in the last year or so, except maybe Phoenix Wright, though that was actually released long ago in Japan and only recently remade, plus you don't even need the stylus for anything in that game except the final added-on case. Point and Clicks seem to be staying in the same niche, while games branching out beyond that interface seem to be getting more publicity.

Years ago, the adventure game (especially if you count text adventures) was pretty much the main genre out there for games. It was far from a niche genre back then.
