Graphics make the gameplay.

Anyway, graphics matter for everybody. Anyone who says otherwise is either a hypocritical liar or just in denial.

I disagree and I am neither a hypocritical liar nor am I in denial. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my favorite game of all time. It may not hold up to today's graphical standards but I still consider it at the top of the list in gameplay even by today's standards. Give me old school NES and SNES classics over today's graphical powerhouses anyday.

Whereas if you want something realistic, story driven and to get your teeth into, to play hours on end, etc then get a PS3 or 360

Like what games? Zelda had a decent story, but it surely wasn't story driven. I can't think of any other story-driven games for the Wii out in the US right now. For what's to come, the only games I see as story-driven at all would be Fire Emblem 10 and the possible Tales game. However, I'd also like to say that there aren't all that many 360 games that have decent stories. There's Enchanted Arms, which is engaging in that sense, Kameo to some extent, Marvel Ultimate Alliance sort of, and that's about it. The PS3 has nothing with a story worth following at the moment, except for Resistance.

Super Paper Mario and Trauma Centre are both story driven games even though one is more based on comic elements and parody. Even Godfather has a pretty good story with story elements from the movie integrated seamlessly with new story elements created for the game.

I have a somewhat related problem: if I charge the battary when it's half-full (shown by the green indicator light), would this damage the battary or shorten its life?bqefhpasdgpihw

No.  That is a myth that many people swear by although it is completely false.  DS batteries don't have the same memory effect that occured in older rechargable batteries so it is completely unnecessary to let the battery run dry before recharging.
