There will be an eventual backlash against the trend though. Eventually reactionary types will realize (once these "together" games make up 75% or more of the best sellers like Bodhesatva says) that a "new" market is waiting to be tapped: games like FF or MGS, with real depth and character.
Games like Wii Sports may never be the minority again (I personally hope this doesn't diminish the amount of "deep" games too much), but no genre will become extinct.
If games like Wii Sports dominate, eventaully people will grow weary of these games and a revival will occur. The circle of life, lol.
