...not nearly as funny as seeing PS3 owners trying so desperately to suggest graphics trump gameplay!
Take a long, hard look at the following:

Tell me out of that ginormous list, which games can you identify that could be considered graphical powerhouses for their time, with graphics as the main drawing card trumping over gameplay?
I see Final Fantasy VII (and that's due mainly to cut-scenes, not to actual in-game graphics) as the first candidate, all the way down at 22nd overall.
Every single game above that was hailed for its fantastic and oftentimes groundbreaking gameplay. Nothing to do with graphics at all, unless you consider Pokemon and Mario to have had awesome, mindblowing graphics for its time (which they didn't).
The results of this chart flies directly at your face, especially when I reread your quote:
"Yes they care, they care alot. Its in our nature to care about the looks of things."
Again, true, people care, but not enough to sacrifice gameplay over graphics. Not for games. For movies perhaps. But not for games.
