To some extent Wii saved PS3 by effectively lessening install base for 3rd parties to port their games to. Publishers hit by rising development costs, were forced to capitalize on PS3 despite it's shortcomings - overpriced, overengineered piece of tech with even higher development costs, low acceptance rate at the beginning due to weak launch lineup of 1st party offerings and lack of best-sellers. They have nothing to do but to support it, thus creating favourable marketplace to sell their games in the future. So, no, it doesn't need saving, but there's always a next generation.
