It’s always been slop filled but you stop keeping up with the industry when the era of games you actually enjoyed passes.

It's not all slop, but there's a lot of pure trash, yes.

This does not mean there aren't any brilliant games, and some systems will be much less terrible for doing this than others.
N64 has a surprisingly high quality-to-shit ratio, and this has nothing to do with nostalgia - there was a bigger market on PS1, so there are oceans of trash there, burying the dozens and dozens of top-class games the PS1 has.
Case in point (if not a great point): the 32X has a weirdly high quality-to-shit ratio, although I will admit that this is largely because the library is full of several fairly decent ports of some very good games, and there are less than 40 games period.
The 2600, NES, PS1, PS2, and Wii are probably the most slop-filled machines, but that's largely because they had such high market share.

If you want to feel jaded, sit down with a fullset of games for almost any given system and play them one-by-one in alphabetical order for a few minutes each. You will encounter more garbage than you could have ever believed existed.
Doing this with the NES is actually pure fucking torture.
This doesn't mean you won't also encounter the games that people actually liked.

There are machines with really high quality to shit ratios (like the Neo Geo AES, even if you will play through dozens of fighting games, some of them basically yearly releases like KOF), but you will also notice the fact that those systems don't have very many games on them overall.
