We're all busy playing NSMB Wii, have you forgotten?
It shouldn't need to be said, but most 2D games nowadays couldn't be done on the Game and Watch.
Avinash is pushing it to the extreme with his "tech doesn't matter" (and I'll put aside his baseless insults against developers for now), but I think you're guilty of being on the extreme opposing end. While graphics will "wow" us every once in a while nowadays, the effect is getting smaller and smaller. To be honest, I can't see games needing graphics much better than what the HD consoles can currently handle, seeing as how many of its games would be fine on the Wii as it is. Hell, the DS is currently the best selling system by far, and is pulling it off with N64 graphics.
Besides, the "wow" factor is only temporary. Games that sell solely on the appeal of new technology never age very well. Even Wii Sports (the introduction to motion) is subject to this, as WSR has made it feel obsolete.
