for true games, wii is the only one actually following tradition...
when the gaming industry had it's first growth pain, and Atari died, who was it that "changed tradition" and brought gaming back? Nintendo.
when the PlayStation was first being developed, was it a Sony-only thing? no, it was a Sony-Nintendo joint thing, Sony was going to make a 3D extension to the SNES, but nintendo and sony disagreed about the media format (sony wanted cd's, nintendo still preferred cartridges, since cd's were no where near fast enough yet)
and now we've come to another point where games can no longer continue in the direction they've been going, we need to take another leap to something new, and who's there at the forefront with the "something new?" Nintendo.
oh, MS and Sony won't fail this generation, there'll be a lot of people still eating the trash up, but the gamers will get a taste of Nintendo's something new, and if Sony and MS don't follow in the next generation, they'll be looking at becoming the next Atari's
