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.

Yep, I've written about that in here somewhere.The title is misleading, and I only skimmed through the text :S

I still think there's a good chance he could have it all wrong when it comes to hardware. Does he want third party support? He better hope Microsoft and Sony don't go all out with Orbis and Durango. The Wii U will have first party sure, but it won't have the mass-appeal of the Wii and could be another N64/GC, which is fine, but only that. Also, the Wii U better be very accessible for indie/small devs! If I get one I feel like along with Nintendo's own studios, indie devs will be the ones that really take advantage of the pad.
