Actually, the game industry's sole goal has always been that of making money. That, and staying up to date with new technologies (be it OS, game engines, hardware, etc), unless she's planning her bankruptcy. Evolve or die.
Gaming isn't dying or going downhill, it just changes depending on what most customers want. The game industry will invest on the vast majority that prefers 3D games, motion control, integrated browsers and in-game chat (MMOs) , and so forth.
So yes, there's a majority out there that likes games that some of us hate.
But it's that majority that keeps the game industry running, and gets what it wants, product-wise.
Democracy in its true form.
