I understand that. But having ALL the games at the same reasonable price means they get the same share of a game that goes viral. AA/AAA games might make the bank for a _console_, though be clear not necessarily for a game studio, it will be the 'lesser' games the susstain the console.

So to be clear, focusing soley on AAA games will _NOT_ make a console healthy, diversifying will.

I'm not saying they should focus on AAA games only, but they are focusing very less now and which might be even worse in future. Consoles are made with power meant for AAA games mostly and if they don't get such games very well then its no way it will be healthy. Look at the Wii U and how its working without many AAA games even though it has many Indie games.

I understand what you are saying and I mostly agree. But I think Wii U is failling less because they aren't are able to get cutting edge AAA games but because they also can't even get AA games either. Wii U is essentially a full gen behind even if it is the best of that gen. Also, as prevously mentioned, price has role in that as well.
