Last I checked, theshoe, good games are still good games regardless if they're on a system as old as the NES or as over-powerful as the PS3. And while it's true that people to tend to favor something a bit closer to PS3-level than to NES-level visuals, eventually, you hit the point where they get "good enough" for the average user (read: gross majority of buyers). And that "good enough" point coincidentally is not the PS3's point. It's actually the Wii that hits that mark, and hits it so dead-on that the hardcore gamers cry in outrage that anybody could prefer such a "last-gen" console over the PS3. When the hardcore are deriding a system that succeeds for not being "good enough", it is in fact "good enough".

Yup and that is why millions and millions (read the majority of gamers) are playing Donkey Kong and the original Mario Bros (not occasionally on VC but the ONLY type of games they play).  Really, I think the problem isn't the Sony Defense Force.  Its the Nintendo (we can do no wrong, are absolutely perfect, and by the way we'll wax your car and give you a ****job) Support Force.  Also this "good enough" have you seen the Wii on a 1080p tv?  Saying it looks like crap is a total understatement.  Fact is fact, right now we are in a transistion phase (between SD and HD), waggle gets Soccer Moms, old people and Nintendo fanpeople wet and up until now the real contenders in this generation (360/PS3) have been way overpriced in a booming economy let alone the recession we (the US) are in right now.  I got rid of my 360 and I'm kinda wishing I hadn't the thing is REALLY going to take off when it hits $199.  If the PS3 could have gotten there soon IT would be the one taking off.
