Graphics = "Great games" -- Does Age play a factor to this thinking?

I think graphics are a cheap substitute for substance, while they are lovely and add much to the game, they are not a necessity. Everyone wants their console to have the best graphics, and there's no shame in taking pride in that, however when you start using graphics as a measure of a game, then you are a child, simple as that. Graphics didn't give the GC or Xbox better games or better sales than the PS2 so why anyone should think the rules have changed this generation is beyond me.

How Sony fans can all of a sudden pretend that graphics suddenly matter this generation when they didn't the last two is perhaps one of the most ironic jokes of gaming history.

why do you have to attack just sony fans?? sony fans must be the devil... i understand the ps2 was the least powerful out of the 3 but...like you said everyone wants their console of choice to have the best graphics..just look at all the gaming websites they compare graphics for every cross platform game... hell... thats what was known about the xbox when it first came out was graphics...

I appologize if you take offense to my argument but my point is still valid and stands irregardless. The xbox always had the graphics so its nothing expected to see them put favor into that. The Sony fans are different story though and this generation is ony further compounded by them being the more vocal of the two in advocating graphics over gameplay.
