The industry have been growing year after year without needing any saviour .

More so ,Nintendo is reshaping the industry to its own benefit ,so the "benefits " of the coming of the Wii to the industry as a whole are far from clear .

When we see third party games selling as good as they do in the 360 and PS3 then we can say third parties are getting profit from the Wii .Right now ,its the machine that is triumphing but only Nintendo is benefiting from that .Most softs are bombing in the Wii and only Nintendo games seems to attract the casual crowd that makes the 80% of its userbase .

The hystory rarely repeats itself exactly .This generation will be different to all the others seen before .The Wii ,even selling the most by a good degree ,may be unable to put a dent on the traditional industry and be left with the worse catalogue of the three .IF the third parties see that only casual crap sells in the machine and that the attach rate and ratio of the PS3 and 360 is way higher they will push for those and release some quick cash ins for the Wii .After all ,releasing crap or quality on the system sells about the same .As for the other two ,I see the 360 collapsing in Europe in few time and the PS3 selling more year on year so the PS3 will be first between those two .Maybe at the end of the generation the PS3 wont outsell the Wii but we will see if the PS3 isnt the beloved console of the industry as a whole and has all the core and hardcore gamers buying 5-6 games a year and the Wii the cash-cow of Nintendo alone and home of millions of super casual gamers that buy 1 game per year at best .Its just an exxageration just for you to see that the Wii even winning in hardware units may lose the final race .
