No matter what you think, IGN is right.

Yeah people are right gameplay > graphics; but nothing has stopped games like Gears of War, Uncharted or Killzone 2 from having BOTH great gameplay and awesome graphics.

And I agree with the majority of things said in the OP. Wii owners should take a stand and demand more great games and improvements to their console instead of sitting back and defending Nintendo. Nintendo is quite content sitting back and counting their money. Its good to see the Wii getting good games like SMG2 and a new Zelda though.

Your entire argument is predicated on a faulty assumption though. You assume the people defending Nintendo have a desire for the features, and qualities of the competing console. This is ridiculous for one huge reason. They, intentionally, did not buy the competitions product. Implicitly they have rejected those features, and values in favor of Nintendo's way. It is simply a matter of preference that many internet gamers have a hard time wrapping their heads around. This is to be expected since it is an entirely different perspective with completely foreign values, and desires.

Sorry you are wrong.  I am the biggest Nintendo fan there is but as big a fan as I am I have been really pissed off the way some on this site have defended and excuse every move Nintendo has made.  It is not about them not caring about certain features it is about them just accepting anything Nintendo does.  Mario Kart is probably the best online experience this gen (at least certainly on the Wii) which is a big part of its ridiculously high sales but the way I have heard lack of online and other features so excused I am sure if Mario Kart did not have online people would be shouting about how it is and has always been a game for local multiplayer and it doesn't need online.
