We are just getting old, you have to realize that. We grew up in days where gameplay actually meant something, and these stupid developers didnt solely rely on graphics. I remember playing games such as pong and pacman as a kid. Hell, I would even play my NES over any of these new systems, because the games were actually fun. It is a rare thing for me to find a game that I could sit down and enjoy for a few hours. I believe the last game that I actually went through and finished a couple of times was KOTOR2, because the story was great even though a lot of the content was missing it was an excellent game.
We can't blame everything on the creators though, a lot of the blame goes on the consumers. If kids these days didnt care what a game looks like, then we wouldnt be in this situation.
I'm not saying that games these days arent good though, cause I still enjoy playing frachises such as metal gear, resident evil, zelda, megaman, etc.. I also enjoyed the remakes of metal gear and RE on the gamecube, and the megaman remakes on the DS. I just think that developers these days can take a little more time and work in a decent story to go with their superb graphics. I mean even I thought games such as The Godfather had excellent graphics, but the game completely sucked IMO. Those are just my opinions on the matter, take them how you want.
As for the WII defeating the PS3 and 360 both, I would really like to see that happen, but I highly doubt it will because of consumers these days preferring graphics over gameplay.
