Because improving how a largely VISUAL medium looks won't improve the experience.

I mean I see his point, gameplay and "innovation" (that word is tossed around way too lightly in this industry) comes first, but when a game looks amazing it improves the experience immensely. It's a big part of the experience and the poor visuals on the Wii compared to PS360 turned away a lot of core gamers.

He's not saying that graphics don't do anything to the "experience." He's saying, in a way, that in conjuction with graphics, gameplay should prove to be a remaining factor that'll make or break a game.
