Ps3 dying would be bad for the industry...

 

No it won't. Less exclusives is better for consumer, multiplatform all the way. Also sony's failure will lead more developers to wii bay, which will eventually benefit everyone and on both ends.

 

You have that completely backwards.  There's a reason the Wii has so much shovelware.  Demographics.

The demographics for the HD consoles is much more constrained.  If the Wii was it, publishers would no longer be able to target demographics accurately, and since they seek to make lots of money, as opposed to making art that appeals to the "true" gaming crowd, real gaming would get shoveled under the carpet as old news.  Goodbye BioShock, GTA, Fallout, FF13.  Hello WiiPlay, WiiSolitaire, WiiJeweled, WiiSudoku, Licensed this, that, the other crap, etc.

If the Wii reaches a certain level of marketshare, you can kiss old school gaming goodbye.  Its only the fact that PS3+360 contends with the Wii on par, and the fact that porting from one to the other is reasonably cheap, that traditional gaming even still exists.
