It's supposed to be a problem in the technical aspect. As you say this isn't a matter of lacking ideas (from the Photokatsu examples), but the reason why arcade series having poor performance recently is rather that they cannnot make new coords  for technical reasons ( running out of money, no 3D model builders etc).
