Technology evolves, and people's standards evolve with it. If a high profile game came out today with N64 graphics, do you think it would be well received? People are well within their rights to hold games to a technological standard. If not, why aren't well all still playing games in Atari 2600 graphics?

That's because the N64 because such graphics are very unappealing.  Yet, earlier forms of graphics have returned because they have appeal.

As a general gaming community, graphical horsepower is becoming less and less important as the focus has shifted to art design.  It's even less important to the general Nintendo community as they abandoned the tech race way back with the Wii.  And the Pokemon community after having made Pokemon into a cultural phenomenon based on handheld graphics, even less than that.

To a large degree the "people" you're defending either don't exist or are fanboys just taking shots.  Either way, basing a games graphical appeal to a technological standard in today's age is a great way to miss out on a lot of great games.

You may not value graphics, but you have to understand that there are millions of gamers who don't share your opinion.
