Anyone else getting bored of gaming?

Since its now been 5-6yrs since the next gen has been around, is anyone else getting bored of gaming? I seem to remember the same thing happening in the last gen (PS2/XBOX) after about 5yrs i started to go yawn, and they never got a look at. But then the next gen came about and it gave a breath of life to gaming. I thought at the time, it was perhaps because i was getting old and just growing out of it. But this gen proved otherwise.. I think i've enjoyed this current gen, as much as I have on previous generations. Perhaps not as much as the original ZX Speccy / C64 days or the SNES, but definately as much and if not more than the Amiga/ST and PS1, & PS2/xbox days.

I have a 360 & PS3 sitting here, and i just can't be bothered to even turn them on to play then whatsoever.

Anyone else feel the same? Thing is they seem to want to string this generation out for a long longer than the previous gens.. So perhaps I've got some way to go, before getting into it again.

I have just become incredibly selective. Any title that I consider mediocre does not get a look in.

That's the thing, I've always been selective, but now even the a-list titles, are not getting a viewing. At home I have games such as Red Dead Redemption, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid, GT5, Uncharted 2, Blk Ops all big titles I'm sure you'll agree, yet I've barely broken past the 1st level. Also bought a Kinect and a PS Move this xmas, in the hope I'd get going again and ended up selling them after 3-4months, cos they just gathered dust.

Not always the case though.. for example, I played Halo Reach from start to finish and REALLY enjoyed it. Also recently purchased BF Vietnam on the PC and have enjoyed that too. So i do occasionally get into the game. But they are few and far between.
