Atari needs it, they are close to closing down, They need something big and I dont know if they can fund it or wait that long.
If I was in charge I would go the cheap and casual game approach [for wii, online, ps2 whatever] untill they get some money back and invest in a new ip.
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine. Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Yeah. I' m not sure they' ll turn enough profit to come back strong in the real games market though, at least not fast enough.
