I think the Wii is very different from other market leading consoles .
First it sells almost only first party games and casual ones at that .Look at the Wii weight in the Take-Two ,EA ,Capcom ,Konami and other companies fiscal data ....its very low even with its monster sales.
Second it caters to other demographics ,different to the PS2 for example in a great way .
Third ,its not PS2-like regarding the rival consoles .....its truly a generation behind in the technical aspect.Its games can be good ,but will NEVER impress the other consoles users or the specialized press.It will always be "good ....for the Wii".
Still ,this could be a threat for gaming and as such is perceived by a lot of gamers.If all the other companies realize you dont need big budgets or inversion but a clean and winner marketing alone ,that the "blue ocean" is full of people ready to buy kiddie games and shovelware ....well theres a risk they can reallocate resources to that kind of software so screwing the HD consoles and PC.Mass market always follow the path of the minimum common denominator.Fortunately the core gamers behind the HD consoles are a powerful force still and buy lots more games that many of the casuals buying Wiis ,and that will keep some investement and projects on those consoles .....the good ,epic ,with great production values ,games .But for this to happen the core gamers must keep embracing the HD consoles and rejecting the Wii ...and thats what the other posters were expressing .
