I don't think "graphics whores" are anything new. Console fanboys have been warring about graphics forever. I agree with others that I don't understand why one can't appreciate both gameplay and graphics, that for some reason they must be completely separate. Or indeed why appreciating good graphics is seen as such a shallow and vulgar thing by some people.
Because the Wii is the current graphically inferior console, Nintendo fans are the current accusers of "graphics whores", but perhaps we should remember back to the N64; "the fastest, most powerful games console on earth" as we used to tell everyone. Or indeed the SNES beating the Genesis, partly due to the amazing graphics it was able to produce with the likes of Donkey Kong Country.
