November? There are a number of good games and big titles coming out in September and October. Until then it will be rather sparse, but two months isn't bad.

Asking an anonymous forum to psychoanalyze your inability to play games is probably a bad idea. Considering you provided almost no supporting information from which to create even a decent guess as to why you're losing interest in games, I'm not sure if this is a legitimate question or just an attempt to provoke random responses.
Final Fantasy XIII. I don't mind the new combat system, but I can't stand the story or characters, and I really hate the linearity. This is easily my least favorite game in my collection.
hmmmm some of the boss battles in God of war 3 really amazed me. Such as the first battle on the back on Gaia while you fought posiedon.

This was my last time as well. Fighting a boss while riding a titan as she climbs a massive mountain was just incredible. It's unfortunate that the story sucked; I wanted to kill Kratos myself multiple times throughout the game.
I tend to read reviews and fan reactions before buying a game. The last time I didn't research a game before buying was FFXIII, and I paid for that mistake (literally).
A long time ago, Activision stole the "Battlezone" title and made a fully textured vehicular combat game with a storyline set in space (with space russians!).They seemlessly combined first person tank combat with the top down rts style of unit management, building placement and defense, and resource gathering. Dear God, that game was fun.
Infamous 2, Deus Ex,Dark Souls, Battlefield 3, Arkham City, Skyrim, and Dead Island. They won't bankrupt me, but they will destroy my social life.
In MGS3, I was less than pleased to fight the Boss and her unit. And then I reached the end of the game and I really felt bad (for reasons I can't say, due to spoilers).
If the Apple model can be applied successfully (ie, lucratively) to the console gaming market, then it will undoubtedly happen. However, the console market seems to be moving away from shorter period hardware releases rather than towards it. While several different PS3/XBOX models have been released, the only tangible improvements among them have been better/larger hard drivers and different form factors (and lower power usage for the PS3, but who buys the next model to save power). In fact, the newer generations of PS3s have lost features, such as PS2 compatibility and 2 USB ports.
In terms of software, we've already seen Microsoft and Sony adopt a roughly similar, albeit much more limited, online store to Apple's Iphone/Ipad app store. While I'm unfamiliar with XBOX's non-game content, PS3 does not allow for much beyond new avatars and new themes. Perhaps the next generation of consoles will increase the breadth of content available in their online stores, including more of the random and more focused apps that you see in Apple and Android's stores.
As for consoles dying, I don't see that happening in 10 years. Eventually, we may see consoles evolve into something better, or merge into another technology that seamlessly incorporates console gaming.Consoles will not truly die, but they may change.
