you all are going a bit overboard with this, wii wont have that big a affect.

its hard to say if it will or wont. Taking it in the worse case, Microsoft and Sony follows Nintendo's example next gen and destroys true console gaming.

Just to clarify my last post. I'm not meaning that the large franchises will die or anything, their gameplay mechanics might change though.

Where are you getting this from? What the hell is "true console gaming"?

Nothing is going to die or go away. People said this about 3D gaming, that it would kill side scrolling platform games or other 2D games. But 2D games are still being created to fill in the void. It's not what it used to be, since 3D games are better for most games, but they are still there. If everyone started making compilations of mini games, then that segment will be saturated. Not everyone makes Honda Civics, I still see Lamborghinis being made.

 

 I totally agree with Mancandy.

"True console gaming" my butt. It's trash. God of War is trash. See? I said it. That's my opinion. But my opinion isn't worth more than yours, nor is yours worth more than mine; so please don't say phrases like "true console gaming," because they're insulting. If you don't like games like Cooking Mama and WarioWare, no problem! Don't play them. But don't imply they're "fake" games. 

I wish games like Gears of War, God of War, Warhawk, Killzone, and "God of Kill War Zone of Death" would just go away. Just vanish. They're puerile. They're meant for 20 year old males with an antisocial streak, and because of games like these video games are seen as childish or even infantile by mature adults, and for the most part, they're right. At the same time, Movies and Music and Novels continue to thrive as legitimate art forms.

God of War is not getting us closer to our first Angels in America or Crime and Punishment or Crimes and Misdemeanors or New World Symphony. Cooking Mama and The Sims are. Less games for 18 year old boys, more games for mature adults, please.
