I think we may see a sort of gaming revolution in the next few years. Games like Katamari Damacy are popping up and making money without hugely amazing graphics. Eventually publishers are going to wake up and realise that whilst gamers like good graphics, what they really want is a good game. We may even see some sort of two tier system where expensive games with amazing graphics cost $70+ and games that are actually fun cost less.

I think Nintendo is starting to realise that and are gradually pushing that sort of game forward (which is why they're not trying to compete on a graphical level with the DS and the Revolution, but rather putting in unusual controllers and things like that). But Sony and Microsoft aren't going to take any notice any time soon what with their whores of next-next-gen consoles.
