On HDTV's: Most people buy HD TV's because there flat and stylish, not for the better resolution.
On Wii's graphics: Most "gamers that love games" (I needed something to distiguish it from the term hardcore since that will cause a discussion on its own) want quality games and not the best graphics. I still love FFVII, Zelda:OoT and many PS2 and GC games. For me, and I think for most gamers, these graphics are not outdated as long as the games are good. Since PS2's still outsell PS3's (!) it's clear that graphics are not that important.
On console wars: Sony will have a really hard time beating 360 (let alone Wii) since both consoles will have a signifficantly better line-up this holiday and will keep this advantage also when MGS, GT5 and FFXIII come out. It's a snowball effect, people buy what other people buy. XboxLive is a really strong marketingpoint. For example sports games make up a great deal of game sales, now which console do you want to play this? One with proven great online that half your friends also play or an unproven one that a lot less people play.
I'm not saying PS3 is dead, but the Sony fans should accept that 3 games cannot change the general gamers interest.
