I wish people would stop propogating this lie. For the love of god, people, processor speed isn't the only thing that determines the power of a console!
Anyway, on the matter of the article itself... the guy is full of shit. He even admits his entire career is based on (relatively) beautiful graphics and practically nothing more. If that's not a sign to him that graphics matter, then I see no reason to listen to a word he says. I wouldn't listen to a pro wrestler that said steroids were awful and to be avoided either (though I came to that conclusion on my own...) simply because I, apparently unlike some others, have a bullshit detector. And it smelled this pile from as far away as a mile.
Gameplay matters, yes. But it's not the ONLY thing that matters just as graphics aren't. You need a balance of all things if you want to hit a wide market. And as a console manufacturer I'd want to hit the biggest market possible. A differing trend for a single year doesn't change the game, it just point out that you need your scales to be balanced if you want to put on a good show. Really, I'd be ashamed if I were him for assuming that the Wii players are the same group of people as the PS2 players.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
