When people say the coming gen of consoles will follow the Wii's trend, what exactly do they mean? If you mean releasing a relatively inexpensive console, I really don't know about that one.

If you mean releasing games that appeal to all kinds of people outside of the "hardcore" market, I have to say the PSN Store and XBL Arcade already do that. Pretty well.

And while I agree the Wii is gimmicky, I gotta give some credit to the DS. In one game (New SMB) Nintendo pretty much crushed every touch game I ever played, using Palm Pilots for years, and then some (talkin about the minigames).
