Wii: A Threat to Gaming?

[Angrist]

I don't really get the frustration that TheGame and other gamers have with the Wii. How does it hold back development? Did the people who bought Halo, Morrowind, Warcraft III, etc. suddenly stop buying those games because there's a Wii now?
There is still a market for 'high quality' titles as you call them (which I think is not a fair description). But the market is slowely realizing that creating better graphics and bigger worlds costs more money that it used to. But games still sell for the same price. So it's less profit. It's just how the market works.

The Wii, DS and I guess PSP motivate the creation of cheaper games, which can still be about as fun. The gnome in the backyard has shown where the money is.
