The industry will advance in the direction the market takes it. If that means that graphical enhancements stall for innovative gameplay, then I feel that is just as strong of a technical advancement as any. Is the Wii's motion perfect? Nope. But like it was said earlier, you gotta go through the bad period to perfect the technology (Motion+ is a perfect example). I hated the PSX because I thought all the graphics were crap and took me out of the game. But PSX eventually became what we have today.
