I have noticed a trend with game covers for next gen games...they tend to feature a dudes back.

The trend of the previous gen was chin down eyes up but that was previous gen and now next gen is upon us we have the new trend of dudes back.

...as you can see there is clearly a trend forming here :D
 
Current trend in game cover art, has nothing to do with next gen other than the fact that its current.
 
I have looked through my current game collection and can confirm that most pre this year games are front face shots.
 
Completely incorrect. Dragon Age is intentionally gender unspecific, therefore does not conform to your trend i.e. it's not a dude.

For all other examples, I can but surmise that hand drawn art can no longer keep up with the power of the current-next-gen, artists cannot output 4320p at 240fps with the required 6 billion polygons in a 'dude face' but backs are easier to draw (less polygons).

Wont someone please think of the artists.
