Well, only an idiot would focus purely on the graphics - I don't know anyone who does (hence why Just Cause on the 360 is generally viewed as being sh*t despite looking superb). However, with the next gen consoles here, it should be more than possible to have both superb graphics and superb gameplay - this is shown with games like Gears Of War. However, Nintendo have decided to take a chance that their new fangled interaction system will be more impressive to people than top of the range graphics. They have looked at the DS v's PSP sales and decided the same can be applied to non-handheld consoles. I think that is wrong.

I personally think it's all very well now while the 'movement' thing is all the rage but when the novelty wears off and people get fed up of not being able to simply play a game without looking like an idiot, the 360 and PS3 will still be the consoles everyone turns to for a good old fashioned blast and the Wii will go the way of the Gamecube.
