I know they're a completley different company now really, but they must see paralells drawing with the "pump out masses amount of crap and hope it sticks" methodology they're doing now and the Atari led video game crash.
It could be just around the corner, more households own Wii's than anything else and the shovelware they're subjected to could turn some of these first time gamers off forever. Nintendo's keeping up the game quality somewhat, but even they must be drowned out at some point.

I'm not sure they're thinking that, simply because games like Halo and MW2 are selling like hotcakes. FPS are cheap to produce, relatively easy to sell, etc. And several major titles that sell well are shooters. So especially in this field, it seems unlikely they care. People bitch they're paying fifteen dollars for two new maps (and one old one or whatever), but they're setting DLC records off it. Given their attitude, I'd imagine all they're seeing is dollar signs.
After all, I'm not sure we can get here without some serious myopia.
