This article and the debate that concerns it is entirely relevant and it's silly to fool yourself into thinking otherwise. Graphics are ALL that this generation of games has going for it. If you really cared about gameplay and story above all then you wouldn't be bothering with hardly any of the shlop that has come out for either system. You'd still be playing your SNES and your PS1, game systems that had real heart and real gameplay. The pretties are the only thing that sells current games. Lord knows innovation doesn't move merchandise anymore.
