The genre wasn't overstuffed in the 90's. It's not going to get overstuffed now. Plus the majority of people who play fighting games just play them for a few months anyway. We'll be fine.
When are you going to have to say "There are too many fighting games"?

Well you don't have to play all of them you know? Or at least you don't have to play all of them seriously. There are some games I learn because I particularly like something about their systems or style or becoming good at them and seeing them beyond entry level appeals to me while there are other games I only dabble in or play very little of because otherwise it wouldn't be any fun to play against my friends.
I wouldn't say the market is looking over saturated. If anything, more variety is a good thing. It increases the likelihood that there will be something that will appeal to anyone. In the end you only have so much free time so just pick your stable of personal favorites an apportion it accordingly.

It is already over saturated, which means soon only a handful of companies will be making any real money from FGs. Those being Namco and Capcom. Japan has a plethora of 2d fighters it releases every year, whose going to play them; especially at this astounding rate of production?
FGs are different from FPS in that you actually need to invest some serious time to get good at them...you can't just pick them up and play. Or at least I can't. Because they're quick to pick up, follow a story, get online and play...FPS have more longevity and are better investment. Many of the FGs these guys buy they only play for a couple of months, and realize they don't really care for the game.
To me that's a waste of money. It's SC and Tekken for me.
If you paid attention you would realize that they're only a handful of players that are serious about FGs. In comparison with other gaming genres, I feel the FG community on average gets less newcomers, especially to the competitive scene. More than likely if a member is new to an FG he already plays another one in a different community.
Basically we just share players.

Well.... when are there going to be enough First Person Shooters and RPG's?
Doesn't matter to me though since I only play SC.
