The decline in Arcades is more due to the $2-$3 a play per game than the success of the Wii. Poor maintenance, high prices, lack of variety and the replacement of traditional games with more carnival/prize oriented gadgets are all contributors to its pending death. IMHO after my last visit to what was supposed to be an arcade…good ridance.

You mean in Japan? In America they became unprofitable in the 90s when high-tech game systems and PCs became the norm. Mortal Kombat and Daytona USA were the last hurrah for arcades in America.
