Nintendo will be doing the same exact thing next generation at which point every Nintendo apologist will go from swearing how HD development is resulting in the death of the industry due to higher development costs, to how "Nintendo does it again!" when they release a HD console of their own that will presumably produce better visuals than the current HD consoles at a $299 initial MSRP due to lowered component costs, capable of producing what should be a pretty modest (by current PC standards) 1920x1080 resolution @ 60fps.

As for this whole putting graphics before anything else in games; BS. We've all seen a literal Blue Ocean of crappy titles on the Wii that were just plain lousy games in addition to looking like just plain lousy games.

As far as I'm concerned, MS and SCE simply went with what was to be the current standard in visuals for games. It was only Nintendo that shorted on hardware specs in the interest of producing a low priced console they could sell at a profit from day 1.

I think that the fact that you don't think it is prevalent is BS. Countless games have sold on hype and bullshotted trailers alone (check Prototype) and people have bought into them, although they are terrible and hollow.

These visuals you obviously wish to get behind are like when a boy falls in love or gets a crush on a girl.

At first he is blind, only seeing her looks and situations in which he will imagine he is having fun with her. His friends think differently.boy asks girl out. Girl says no. After being burned the boy has time for reflection. After time, what does he realize?

 

 

Behind the looks and flirty demeanor lied a condescending, bossy, wild, vindictive bitch that he should've never wasted his time on. A high-maintenance ho not worth one dime.

Getting a little testy there kiddo. You don't have to defend the prevalence of shovelware that virtually everyone admits has dogged the Wii since it became clear it was the most mass market friendly console.

About the only developer on the Wii that has consistently produced quality games worth buying is Nintendo. No surprise there seeing as how their games would do well on virtually any platform if they published on any other platform.

It also goes without saying that virtually ALL the major top selling franchises this generation, barring Nintendo's (which is a given) have been on either PC, Xbox 360 or PS3, or all three.
