My friend, please justify that, What were the actual downward trends that have helped you come to that conclusion (nintendos blue ocean policy doesnt count)
As of 2005 the industry was in the best health it has ever been, so long as you dont count indipendant code shops.
I love Nintendo and funilly enough love what they have done but they have changed the industry and consumer expectations of the industry. If they hadnt come along with the wii one of the other manufacturers would be storming ahead right about now, if for no other reason that the industry would be selling to the same people as before.
The industry has been in a long term period of growth for some time and as the 'new' and up and coming medium of entertainment that trend would have continued
