As fishyjoe said in one of the first few replies.. people outside of the small group of 'elite' gamers do not really care about graphics as much as you do. Sure, they can tell the difference between N64 and PS3 graphics, but they are satisfied with what the wii offers graphically.. (lets say for arguments sake, the wii outputs the exact same tech as ps2, no more no less) .. 120mil people were satisfied with PS2 graphics.. and now suddenly, those graphics are impossible to handle for the few percent who went on to buy a hd console One proof from this gen, which may not be a fair comparison, but i think it is personally, given the same markets. The DS started out very much like the wii, little support from developers, big interest from "casual" gamers. Now, 80 million consoles later, it is still selling double the PSP on a weekly basis (this week it was triple), despite the obvious graphical/tech improvements it has over the DS.

People forget about the PC's advantage over PS2, it didnt matter
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
