I agree, actuall. For someone like me who does a good 3 hours gaming a day, and works through games pretty fast, you sometimes run out of games to play and have to find some other hobby while waiting for new games to come out.
The only exception is when I find a game with good online play (except for FPS, online FPS has been more or less the same for the past decade, and I've burnt out on it). Even that doesn't last for more than a couple months. Devs keep coming out with these 6-hour FPS games with fancy graphic, or waste-of-life MMOs.
Right now I'm waiting for Fallout to tide me over for November, then GTA4 for December, and after that hope SC2 or Empires:TW come out early. Pretty much nothing else on the radar.

Two possibilities:
-you only play the most mainstream stuff because you don't know about games that aren't hyped much (if at all)
-you know about the games that aren't hyped much but don't like them (very unlikely)
Personally, I'm uber picky when it comes to gaming, and I can't imagine ever running out of games (and gaming is pretty much my only hobby). As a matter of fact, I never ran out of PC games to play in my 15 years with the platform (playing 3h a day, often more, rarely less). I'm not even going to play Fallout 3, GTA4 and only have moderate interest in Empires: TW (haven't played Medieval 2 yet and I want to play Shogun again), yet I'll be buying plenty of new and recent games in the coming months. You should research about PC gaming's library imo.
