"Listen, we all know the Wii is selling well, but that doesn't mean people are actually playing the console," he writes.

"Sorry to say, graphics still matter, and because it is lacking, some walk into a room, play with it for an hour, tell everyone how fun it is, and go back to their PS3 to marvel at the look of a game," Reisinger theorizes.

But "if people decide to buy it because it looks nice at a friend's house and proceed to play it until they get bored with it, where are the opportunities for third-party developers to make money?"

This quote is so funny.  Over a hundred and some odd million people have purchased the PS2 and that was graphically the worst system.  It did have some stand out titles (GOW, FF, etc.) but many games looked worse than GC and 360 games.  If history tells us anything, it'll be that graphics don't matter to make a console win.  good-looking games are just a plus.  A BIG plus, but a plus, nonetheless
