Nah. There will always be a market for cutting-edge technology. The difference is that now the cutting-edge will shift from "mainstream" (as mainstream as gaming was pre-DS) to "niche," while systems like the Wii and DS take up the "mainstream" banner.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
