^ I see. Aside from your argument itself, I think that gives publishers WAAAY too much credit, especially due to the "long term" part. In fact, I think it's a big problem that too many companies are chasing the immediate buck without looking at the long term.

I would have thought that most companies are pursuing a mixture of both short term profit and longer term stability. Is there any reason to doubt that the are?

The lack of stability in the market?

But no, I don't have evidence that video game companies in particular are guilty of lack of foresight ... although I think that if your theory (that that was their reason for being leery of the Wii) was correct, then there'd have been a lot fewer PS2 titles from those self-same publishers, unless you have an explanation for why they would so recently have made this realization.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
