Hocking: I think it broadens what we talk about when we talk about gameplay. Holding a character in your arms with graphical realism might not be gameplay -- but it changes the experience of play radically compared to some faceless guy with no emotional resonance. Sykes: There are ways to think about this, both completely opposite. I can understand Clint’s point, but I cried when Aeris died in Final Fantasy 7. I’d spent 60 hours with this character. Hocking: But a processor didn’t do that. Sykes: I’m just saying it’s not something new. [There are] things like Half Life where you’re completely immersed even though Gordon never says a word. Fortier: [...] There’s a big difference between what I saw the first Christmas and today. [The first] PlayStation was about 3D, PS2 was about making it look smooth, and this gen is about what can we do [to create] more complex game experiences. |

It's about balance... good games sells games, not pandering to a marketing aspect.

Meh...
Innovation is the key. Gameplay or graphics? How bout both. I just want something that looks great while presenting something I haven't experienced before.

Graphics aren't everything, but make the experience more immersive. Better processing power not only allows games to look better, but allows more to happen onscreen at once. This can in turn improve the gameplay.
It all depends on the games you like. If you want simple, and have a simple brain that can't figure out what button to press to do what, then you need a simple system. The Wii is a simple pick up and play system for these types of people. The Wii can provide a good, simple gameplay experience that's easy to learn. It's just too simplified for many people that have been playing games for a long time.
If your brain can do many things at once and can react quickly to many things going on around you, then you can handle a controller with many buttons and 2 analog sticks you must move independently. Rather than focusing on one simple task, you must do many tasks at once. This is why the PS3 and XBOX 360 do not have the soccer mom and homosexual appeal that the Wii does.
Great graphics AND gameplay are possible on any new system other than the Wii. The best the Wii could hope for is gameplay. Since the other true next gen systems have adequate power to produce outstanding visuals, making the gameplay great depends on the creativity of the developer, not limited uses of a gimmicky controller.

Just take a look at all the Wii games with horrible reviews. You can check any non-Nintendo sponsored site. It doesn't look like there's many promising titles coming up either.
With the XBOX 360 and PS3 you can have great graphics and gameplay. There's also a much better game selection that's not revolving around a single overused annoying mascot.
You seem to be handling the fact you're constantly proven wrong pretty well. You even changed your name to mimmick your own sexual orientation, perhaps hiding something?

Nah, I don't think that they have a problem with their sexual orientation. It's just that you annoy so many people here, that they actually are creating names just to poke fun at you....

Obviously, gameplay is more important than graphics, if you prefer good graphics to good gameplay, you're an idiot. Regardless of how good something looks, if it's unplayable it's pointless.
