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.

If what you're saying is true, then thank god there are two other consoles pandering to my needs as I don't need my sports games dumbed down, and my RPGs leaving behind the story to become more Zelda-like, especially since RPGs don't need to get tips from action/adventures anymore than racers need to get tips from RPGs.

Also how is an FPS going to become a social and single player experience? Are you talking co-op, because it's been done before.
