^^^ A great point you make (in Yoda voice)
I think in the end it just deals with the individual. I'm willing to put up with more of the same if I enjoy it. Though I must admit lack of innovation is slowly driving me from console gaming, especially pre-Wii. The same games with better graphics is something I would have loved when i was 12, now not so much. Thats not to say that graphics don't matter though.
