I think that leisure games are moving to where people are - namely, in mobile. The Wii sold big time because it was leisure and cheap. Now, with mobile, the Wii isn't cheap any more. Nor is it quite so leisurely. It's a big pain the ass to have to deal with that sensor, make sure batteries are charged and switch the inputs on your TV.
I've gotten more playing time on a $.99 game like Tiny Wings than I did in Zelda or Wii Sports and it was 2% of the price.

But then Apple sell the iPhone for $199, and it looks expensive too. I guess we'll see.

The difference is that the iPhone actually *is* expensive and people know it. It's just sold inexpensively. The Wii, OTOH, is cheap. There's a big difference.
