WiiFit won't kill games, there's always a market big enough for them. BD, WiiFit, downloadable contents are simply expanding consoles' audience, but that's good, traditional games market is by no means shrinking, it grows as usual, simply we notice more the "not gamer console users market" because it's new and as most new successful things, its initial growth is very strong. This new market won't either help or hurt games, but after the first years, when technophiles allow producers to keep prices high, making the HW market larger than it would be if based only on gamers, will help to get bigger and faster price reductions. The trend started with PSOne, with PS2 it got even stronger and now, thanks to Wii, consoles could easily become commodities as VHS recorders and CD and DVD players. Not a bad thing at all, shame PS3 shortcomings (RAM and single PPE core) won't allow consoles to become a commodity home computer too this gen, otherwise we could have had this gen the big jump to large scale home computerization "experts" keep on predicting, but that didn't happen yet.
