MIA? I don't know about that... while average game difficulty certainly has gone down, the hard games are still there... Viewtiful Joe or Alien Hominid for example, or Metal Slug 3 on Xbox or Metal Slug 3 and 4 on Xbox and PS2... and that's just side-scrollers... Prime 2 is another good example. Ninja Gaiden perhaps? Plenty more. There are hard games out there still...
