As someone who just recently got a “modern” console, I’ve been disappointed in how many of the “best” games (as ranked by Metacritic) are either shooters or free-form world exploration games, with an emphasis on violence(GTA, Assassins Creed, etc).  The “M” games may be a small portion of the games made.. but they’re the ones with the most production quality and highest ratings.  It’s amazing how many reviews rave about the graphic and brutal natures of the violence in the games.  This seems to be a MAJOR point of emphasis.
The non-violent games seem mostly to be aimed at casual fans who don’t read game reviews: sports games, kids games, dance games.
As someone catching up on 5 or 6 years worth of games, there should be much more variety to choose from.  I’m not interested in playing 10 different shooters- one or two good ones are enough.  I don’t consider the addition of more “Mature” content to be a reason to favor these games.If the film industry was like the game industry, we’d get a constant stream of summer blockbusters and comic book movies(yeah, I know we already do).. and they’d also win the Oscars.
