Do you think videogames will ever be as good as in the 80's and 90's

The point he is trying to make is that people choose a relatively easy difficulty such as normal, when they are familiar with the genre and then complain about difficulty. This is usually 90% of reviews and people complaining about the game.
Catherine had to be toned down for the US release because even Japanese gamers had extreme troubles with the hard mode. Diablo 3's inferno mode was also toned down because of scrutiny that it was too hard.
The statement that games aren't hard doesn't hold up.
Linearity has nothing to do with difficulty. Super Meat Boy and The Impossible Game are extremely hard and it's just a single path.
Sure Consoles hold back developers, but it's not by a dramatic scale that games could be some uber godly game that would make people cringe that they use to play on consoles. For a 5 year old consoles they are holding up extremely well compared to current gen PC's.
