There's no way around it. A sustainable console environment cannot hold without industry support for a long time, the consumers may have spoken, but until industry decides there's a place for Wii it can only become a self fulfilling prophecy.
The Wii was going to become the PS2 of this generation, but it depended on its adoption as a leading game platform. And I'm not just talking publishers. Obviously there was tremendous potential for the Wii to continue selling for many years to come, but with all this consistent doubt it will decline. And I think it's getting around that time where whatever was making the Wii successful will fade, and only industry acceptance can bring it back again.
I'm not saying the Wii will permanently decline, but it will suffer a period of unpopularity, perhaps short. It will depend on what the industry wants to do. One thing is for sure, whatever they're hoping will rise will not be sufficient. The industry itself will suffer the most from it, not Nintendo, this is why I believe Nintendo is not done with their current path of videogame leadership.
