I think it's mostly due to the song selection to be honest. It'd be a bit of a hyperbole to say "all" the good songs have already been taken, but Rock Band 3 has over 2000 downloadable songs and there have been hundreds more for the previous ones and the Guitar Hero games so...

edit: It's also probably at least in part due to the fact that the fad has passed.

Guitar Hero Live's weird streaming model probably put people off too

Like you have maybe 40 songs on disc that are from the weird FMV career mode thing (which i actually really liked) But for the other 500 or however many songs (they're still adding them I think) you need to go to GHTV which has like three channels streaming songs that you join in on (like a pop channel/metal channel/indie channel) If you want to actually choose a song yourself you need to use plays (that you buy with coins you get from playing the streaming channels) or you can buy the plays with real money

I probably put like 20 hours into GHTV without paying anything and playing mostly songs from the catalog but that was in the first month where they were doing free weekends and stuff. I dunno what it's like now

I assumed the new GH/Rock Band games did ok though. I guess this is pretty meaningless but I know 5 or 6 people in real life that bought one or the other and they don't play that many video games

Why do they have to be embarrassing

Some Ace Attorney games/Ever17/Remember11/Zero Escape trilogy/Danganronpa 1 + 2 (aka most of the VNs I've played) would fill out a month pretty well I think. Maybe Hotel Dusk and Last Window too if those count

Oh and Steins;Gate

Capcom and Konami are the two developers whose 90s golden age I miss the most. They used to make such good games, and so many of them...

Sega has held in there pretty well I think

I mean I can't think of anything recent other than Yakuza/Miku (maybe Sonic will be good again?! They had a good thing going for a while with Generations + Racing Transformed) Valkyria Chronicles was cool too

I bought The Witcher 3 at launch and still haven't played it properly because I ended up just playing gwent after the tutorial area then got distracted by a different game or something. It keeps nagging at me because I don't like buying games and not playing/finishing them (i don't know how steam people live with themselves)

But I picked up FFXV again so I need to finish that and I need to plat Yakuza 0 before I buy Nier and I need to finish that before Persona 5 comes out and I still haven't bought RE7 and now I'm kind of in the mood to buy Yoshi's Wooly World and I still haven't bought the new miku oh no
