Gaming is not only about pretty graphics, dude. Who the fuck cares if OpenGL 3 isn't as great as DirectX10, cool games are made on the nintendo which has neither.
The madness of wanting all the pretty graphics you can do has killed whole game genres on the PC. There aren't any RPG worth a salt nowadays because the only studios that survived are using all their resources on graphics and nothing else. Fallout 3 is a shooter that just happens to have RPG elements and doesn't hold a candle to its predecessors. The RPG genre used to have hideous graphics and great gameplay, when Fallout 2 was out it was considered ugly for its own time but was a success because people cared less in those days. Fallout 3 has pretty graphics and nothing else because of the insane expectations people have from 3D games.
