Well I agree to be honest. He's not saying that gaming as a whole needs to be HD, but if you want to whine about why you're not getting these core, graphically-dependent franchises, then you need to beef up. You all won't admit it, but there are certain games out there that need good graphics. "Graphics isn't everything" is getting old. It is sometimes a necessary complement.

If there are there have yet to be any actual real examples given. 

Well it's subjective. For me, if we have a multiplatform game where the gameplay on the Wii doesn't benefit from motion controls, I can't help but feel like I'm cheating myself by playing the Wii version only. I mean if you have two of the same thing when one looks clearly better....why not go for it? At least that's the way I think

You are making the assumption that everyone can make that choice.  What about the 13 year old who's parents bought his Wii for him and he doesn't have money of his own to buy another system.  If he can't play COD on the PC/360, what's wrong with him wanting to play a still very decent version on the Wii, and by extension a Wii version of AC or other graphics-dependent titles?  I don't think it's unreasonable that these games could be made for the Wii.  Some compromises would certainly have to be made but we haven't seen such leaps in gameplay this generation to make me think that most gameplay experiences couldn't be authentically reproduced on the Wii.

Now, i really should go to bed, it's late.
