Edit: Think of DDR, Donkey Konga, or Guitar Hero. The Wii is kind of like those games. It's new and fun, requiring you to do something other than push buttons, but it eventually gets old; and people go back to playing what they're used to.

I never said that people weren't playing them anymore. By old, I mean that they aren't played as often as they used to be played. Less than half of the people who played DDR when it was at its peak popularity play it at all now. I admit that Guitar Hero was a bad example, though - that game was never even nearly as popular as DDR.

I have a big problem? I'm not sure if you meant for that to be an insult or a statement. Either way, you fail to disprove my argument. While gameplay is an important factor, graphics and sound is just as important. If people were content with just gameplay, they would never have bought a SNES or N64; instead sticking to their NES, which had games that offered the same sort of gameplay. Many people want realism, which is one reason why people end up throwing their Wii-motes through their televisions.

I'm not saying that graphics and sound is everything, but I think it is what will convince quite a bit of people to buy a PS3 or X360 when they get bored of motion sensing. You may have heard some people say that they'll hold off on buying a PS3 until games such as Metal Gear 4 comes out. Do they want to play the game so much because of the gameplay and story that Metal Gear usually has to offer? Maybe in some cases, but a lot of people would like to see an ultra-realistic Snake in action. :p

I'm getting sort of annoyed at seeing the gameplay versus graphics argument, though. It's an old Nintendo fanboy argument; and most can agree that the majority of people will not side with the fanboy.
