Adventure games are very story driven, unfortunately the market for this genre is niche and very small especially on consoles. I can only think of Heavy rain developed by Quantic Dream that will hit an HD console. I'm pretty sure there won't be more then 10 adventure games this generation on a HD console. Gameplay has a second place in this genre and storyline is the focus of the adventure genre. It's obvious that gamers want good gameplay rather than storyline.
Storyline will only be more important when gameplay has become so realistic that it can't improve anymore. This can only happen when you can touch a virtual environment.
