While that is accurate, few are hardcore games who upgrade upgrade upgrade. I consider myself a gamer, but no longer hardcore and definitely not casual. I like my gaming experience to be as best as it can, but many are content with the lower resolutions and still have the gameplay.
To me that's just not right at all. It's like watching Pan and Scan movies because it's good enough. This is why Hulu succeeds because it's good enough and doesn't need to be great.
Because of this mentality for myself, I limited my play after HL2. Only getting CODMW2 because it's so freaking awesome that the minute details are not going to be missed. I can tell the difference in LFD2 and Borderlands, and I find it a shame.
What is great is that now games don't get limited to what they are on release day. Every time I upgrade my hardware, World of Warcraft gets better. The same thing was for HL2.
This benchmark tool will help people understand just like the 4:6 vs 16:9 difference that it's a fundamental difference worth striving for...
But graphics should not hinder gameplay. Ever.
