HD market is definitely dying considering a dozen or two AAA games get released for them every year 
Ninty hatred has been around ever since Sega said that Sonic had "tude" and Mario was lame. No blood in the first Mortal Kombat on the SNES was the first time where I really started hearing people say that Nintendo was for babies and that Nintendo games suck (despite all reality). It started there and it's only gotten worse since then.
I suppose that in the past, Ninty was usually the loser in sales for consoles, so nobody was going to aggressively kick a dog while he's down. But now Ninty is on top so all the hatred and disgust for bright colors has come out in full force.
That's what I gather from what I've seen.

AAA no longer means profitable. Take Two lost money when GTA IV came out.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Lol. I also have to take the opportunity to say that Modern Warefare 2 is absolute rubbish and the biggest waste of my money this gen. Even a bigger waste than Cooking Mama Wii.

And yet developers have not abandoned them for the Wii yet and don't look like they are going to. Wonder why that is huh? They may be losing money, but the consumers are happy.

And yet profits are pretty much nonexistant
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

You do know what happens when companies don't make money

Nobody said to abandon them. That's a strawman.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
