Definitely not. I truly appreciate the steps Nintendo has taken the past few years to push the industry forward but IMO, too many people think innovation and graphics are mutually exclusive things. Some games only need waggle while others are better suited to better lighting, graphics, and AI. Some, and I hope to see this next generation, will use both.
Which is why the divergent console system we're seeing this generation is actually kinda cool. There's a console and market for almost every developer out there who wants to try something new, whether it be pushing AI crowd control to new heights or using Nintendo's white pointer-thingie for entirely new and interesting things.
