the people on here post a "reaction to the common wisdom" because the common wisdom is just that - common wisdom. That is to say, everyone already knows it. There's no point in pointing out a point that has already been permitted into public... uhhh... knowledge.
Graphics are important. But you don't play the graphics, you play the game. If every post-atari game developer was lobotomized so that their entire sense of creativity and playability was removed, then they could be developing on a system that is eons ahead of our current technology, and it would be of no consequence. No one would want to play the games.
If nintendo makes a system with more fun games, then people will buy that system. It doesn't matter if there's a P4, a celeron or a dancing goat inside the freakin' thing.
