As someone who sort of kind of keeps up, it's actually pretty true, there have been a WHOLE bunch of goods games lately, and I don't think I'll ever catch up.

Are 'all' games targeted at the same market? It seems odd to me that so many games are being produced for the same people. Wouldn't it be better business to target more groups?

On the other hand, if you're going to buy them anyway, I don't suppose it matters for the producers.

No, there are different games for different people. There are distinct genres as well as games targeted at specific demographic segments (e.g. tween girls).

They do segment. There are games for kids, casual games, social games, everything. I think in the more or less "core" demographic though, and they produce more games than I have time to play.
