I'll make an assumptions on what the Wii disruption will do in video games:

-Sports games will be dumbed down and make it became casual fare rather than a competitve game, if you see Malstrom's upstream chart, sports games was the lowest dominator.

-FPS will became a social and single player experience rather than a competitive core experience and with ease of use in wiimote why not? CS was supposed to be a mod for casual audience who just wants to shoot anybody which arent in their team. Now it became a competitve game and FPS have became more niche and niche, yeah, most online gamers are playing FPS but with too many FPS out there, COD 4 and Halo was lucky to even compete with Counter Strike. Counter strike was and still is the FPS choice for gamers because it can be casual and competitive game.

-RPGs will rely more on gameplay and exploring rather than reading too much texts and FMV driven, the text and FMV driven rpgs are the norm since Final Fantasy VII but it will change soon and Legend of Zelda will make that example.





end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out
