"PS3 Domination" the coined phrase

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 .

Paragraph 1:  I believe that the "profit vs. revenue" concept has been adequately explored elsewhere in this thread. 

Paragraph 2:  Many here are arguing that the new shape Nintendo is forming makes for a better industry. 

Paragraph 3:  Profit vs. revenue again, and "Wii software is bombing" is just not true.  "OMG casual" doesn't even deserve a response at this point.

Paragraph 4:  There is absolutely no evidence to show that for the first time ever EVER in the industry a system with insane sell-through over its first year-plus with a continuing supply of great games turns around and bombs in sales (which it would have to since there is less than zero evidence that 360 or PS3 can catch up to even stagnant Wii sales).  "PS3 is for REAL gamers, while Wii is casual heaven", again, is totally laughable. 

If Wii sells the most hardware, in what way do you propose it would "lose the final race"?  I suppose you mean attach rate since Nintendo has already made more profit than Sony or MS ever will this generation.  How is that a valid measure of "winning" a console generation?  Does this mean that the PS2 lost last generation because it had the lowest attachment rate?
