And that's how most of the non-gaming or light-gaming population feels. Good graphics are typically only pointed out by people with better systems or who see more video games, and play more.
Thats completely backwards. For one, the PS3, cause thats what you are considering a "better system", has the least sells of any system out right now. Its got good graphics, yes, and its got quite a bit of memory, yes, but does that make it "better", not at all. Don't get me wrong, I like a couple PS3 games, and I own a 360 and like a lot it has to offer, but that dosen't make them any more superior to any other system, whatsoever.
The Wii, which is what you seem to believe has these so called bad graphics, is what everyone wants now. Gamers of all ages, and even a lot of gamers that have been gaming forever. I, for one, have been gaming since I was about 3 years old, and im 19, and right now, and I've seen my fair share of games to know that great graphics really don't mean much. Maybe they help, but they aren't needed. If you want realism, watch a movie. There are still many series out there that people would rather play the games released 10 years ago or more, than the crap we are getting these days. For example, Sonic, Mortal Kombat, and most of what we have seen from the Mario series. Heck I still consider the best wrestling game to be WWF No Mercy for the 64, and it came out a while back.
Now I'm not necessarily saying that a game with horrible graphics is always gonna be better than one with very realistic ones, but a combination of both is fine. The Gamecube had graphics that, if I had to live with the rest of my life, I would be completely content with. I will repeat, they are Video Games, not Movies.
