The only thing that's changed is either the amount of time they actually play the game or the number of games they play at a time.

The most successful games nowadays aren't successful for being easy and fast paced. The most common factors for game success generally are Marketing (See Blizzard), Franchise (Elderscrolls, Fallout, Final Fantasy as long as the game itself isn't poorly done), Pandering to specific demographics that will repurchase the newest version of a game every year, (Sports games, to an extent Call of Duty games).
