I prefer a console that uses more creativity than high end graphics. Before the Wii was released manufactures were only focused on making the next generation of consoles more powerful. Now Microsoft and Sony are following in Nintendo's footsteps to make more creative systems by copying Nintendo. (A little ironic, but it will lead to a great 8th generation of consoles.) The Wii shows gamers are more interested in new gaming technology and not just better graphics. I think the Wii will have a positive influence on future consoles. By taking a graphical hit, Nintendo proved graphics are not everything in gaming.

Did they? Are all the casuals who own the Wii who have 2 games really "gamers"? I don't think so. Yes, they own a game system, but they don't game like the rest of us. To them it's just a toy, to "gamers" gaming is a hobby. And, overwhelmingly, those that think of gaming as a hobby have not jumped on the nintendo bandwagon.
