It tough to find game concepts that people have never seen or played in some way before, therefore, we are getting harder and harder to impress. Also, age makes you a more demanding customer.

Well, you see, I owned an NES, but I never owned an SNES. When I think back, I do think I had more fun playing my NES than any other system. Maybe I think this because of what you said...but I have this feeling that if I were to go out and buy a SNES right now and get a bunch of games for it and come home and start playing, I would have more fun than I do with my GCN. (not saying I dont have fun with my GCN...I love it...but I'm just making a point that the SNES has better quality games.)
And what your saying about concepts running dry is both true and untrue. Their are concepts out there...we just havnt thought of them yet. The imagination is a wonderful thing...it has endless possibilites. While it is getting harder to find new ideas...they are out there. This is like saying that the music industry will crash someday because all the "good" lyrics are taken. Or saying that books and novels will eventually become irrelevent because no one has anything new to right about.
Someone just needs to have a revelation...and push the envelope a bit.There are ideas out there...but current game developers are doing a crappy job finding and utilizing them.
