The increasing popularity of games may hurt games as an art.

[KungKras]

Complaining about the game industry, and about the Wii does not compute. The Wii was made to fight disinterrrest and change the "Blockbuster" model of games.

And to be blunt, old games were never creative because they were "art". Old games were creative because there wasn't much that came before them, and becase they understood that they were GAMES and not art. Gaming was born in bars, and continued in the arcades. not in art galleries. Only later gaming moved to consoles. Creativity circled around how to make a game fun and addictive to play.
