Also, just because Sony released a machine like the PS3 doesn't mean the company itself has a "hardcore" business design. They're still pushing PS2's, the fact that they'rve released yet another new bundle with the new Lego Batman and a Justice League DVD is obvious of that. Hell, there's even still games being developed for the ps2, so to say that nintendo's competitors are going to be forced to change their business plan is beyond rediculous.
I'm just saying that Sony and Microsoft probably don't have as much of the market as Nintendo cause you listed five games (a few being on the Wii as well) while sad to say, most of the Wii library can be considered casual affair.

I also argue that your logic about why Sony would not change their plan is also a bit silly Nintendo struck a gold mine and I find it odd that people don't think Sony or Microsoft are not going to try and cash in on this. For crying out loud, they both want you to use their systems as their full entertainment center; they don't hide it in their press conferences. Granted, I do feel that Sony and Microsoft making Wii clones for their next system is highly unlikely; but I feel they would be stupid if they didn't try to take ideas and concepts, concerning why the Wii did so well, into account for the next console system.

I really feel the market is going to change rather dramatically this generation. What it will become is anyone's guess though...
