Yeah, in a way it might seem kind of threatening to some of the more "epic" experiences we are on the threshold of attaining within video games. But that's the thing; there's always going to be room for the PS3/Xbox 360 archetype of video games. The Wii might create a new market share, but that's all it'll be: a share. It's never going to completely outright dominate the entire gaming space.

And while innovative new titles might be a main attraction of the console, it'll still be home to the "regular" gaming experience that we're all familiar with. Take for instance Super Smash Bros. Brawl which will use the traditional controller and not the Wii-mote. A large part of the DS's success can be contributed to traditional-style games, like Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros., Castlevania, etc. and while new innovative titles like Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright remain very much a niche in the grand scheme of things, they allow gamers the oppurtunity to experience new methods of playing video games.

In summary, the Wii will probably be like the DS, in almost every facet. And with that considered, it should do just fine. Though I do think this'll definitely be a generation where owning two consoles might be necessary to fully experience the current state of video games.
