WoW and Farmville are games that made a lot of money and Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo got nothing of that. Besides Final Fantasy XI, the big 3 missed the party on both of these money making genres.
It's true that both MMOs and F2P "games" will probably die before consoles. The problem is that Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo aren't adaptable enough and so the money is going to the platforms that have less restrictions. If new ways of selling games to customers appear, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo need to have a business model and a platform that will support it. They can't keep basing their businesses on selling Call of Honor: Medalfighter 4 for $60 and expect to survive.
