Just cut the drama - Newgrounds has even worse stuff, and gaming didn't suffer from it at all in any of these years. If anything, people like you who keep raging about it focus on the bad side of gaming too much to see how many great titles there are.
Way too many heavy-hitters coming out in 2015 for this to be even remotely true.
Zelda U, Xenoblade Chronicles X, MGSV, Uncharted 4, Halo 5 etc. etc.
They'll always be those crappy, throwaway games but that doesn't mean a crash is going to happen. I've seen people predict another gaming crash for years now..
Meme run is an annoying ant or squirrl in the yard. If no consequence. There's not gonna be a crash. Gaming is doing better than ever. Unless of course you're not serious. I can't tell if you are.
The only AAA games not coming out in 2015 are the Elder Scrolls and Fallout, presumably (exaggeration). But seriously though, between Zelda, Uncharted 4, Halo 5, The Witcher 3, Batman, Bloodborn, Battlefront, Persona 5, Metal Gear Solid 5, Final Fantasy 15, and all the indie and new AAA IP coming out in 2015 there'll be more console sales than ever before.
The only thing I'm worried about is Nintendo being buried and forgotten about beneath the weight of all the X1/PS4/PC third party games coming out. Sony especially is really competing in terms of first party and exclusives now.
Will there be a gaming crash? I think so eventually, but definitely not next year. Too many heavy hitters coming. After the mess that was this year for AAA games outside of Nintendo and a couple other games, people will hopefully be more receptive and vocal towards any BS.
If 2015 ends up like this year somehow, then yeah a gaming crash will be likely.

You kidding me? Despite object lack-lusterness 2014 had record sales for Watch Dogs and Destiny. The problem is publisher's play it so safe that sales are always about stable for their grey-as-grey-gets games. The masses will keep eating up drivel like Watch Dogs and Destiny while sales remain nominal and the artistic AAA titles die out.
That being said, I'm quite looking forward to some of Sony's exclusive AA games (yes, double A), because titles like Severed, WiLD, Rime, The Tomorrow Children, The Witness, The Talos Principle, Abzu, and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter look really interesting. More importantly, they're not about gruff white, cisgendered, men with guns shooting other E-EVVVIIIIIILLL men with guns in a modern setting. (I'm already a white, cisgendered man living in modern times, I don't need anymore insight on that experience, thank you).
@Haru17 Watch_Dogs and Destiny broke records because of extreme overhype. People preordered because they were made to believe those games were the "go to games for a next gen experience". The general consensus is that both games were extremely disappointing. Most people seemed pretty pissed about those games as well as all the delays and broken games that were released.
While I have no doubt that next year will be a record setter for overall software sales, if the games end up disappointing or super broken, then it will hurt the AAA industry big time.
The original Video Game Crash of 1983 was not a one-sided occurrence. Yes, development of games did begin to lapse, but only due to the general public no longer trusting the video game industry. Do you honestly believe such a thing could reasonably happen again in the age of the internet, in which we are much more informed of the inner workings of said industry?
Well... yes. If anything, the internet makes them look worse because we have more insight into some of the horrible design practices that they've indulged in.

and yet most people don't care.
