The only problem is that US customers so far haven't discovered their love for such games yet. Hopefully this will change some day. It's just a different culture of gaming at the moment...

We hate soccer which is all that it comes down to. Football, basketball baseball, hockey, NASCAR, golf even watching paint dry are more popular in the US than soccer. I can't tell you 1 person that I know that roots for the Chicago Fire or anyone in the Premier League. The Fire have had more success then Cubs, Sox, Bulls, Bears, Hawks combined in the last 10 or so seasons, yet Chicagoans overall don't care.
I only read page 1, so I dont know if something has changed from what I had originally heard about graphics in 13.
Would I like to buy 13 whether it has graphics or not, yes. Will I? Undecided. Even the rudimentary graphics that have been talked about by Markus before is still better to show the game then the current setup. Wouldn't graphics attract the Nintendo generation without alienating the Strat-O-Matic generation?
Would I love to see my SS go deep into the hole diving for the ball and throw from his knees to throw Ichiro out at 1st, heck yes. I am a fan no matter what (within reason) OOTP decides on this subject, but you would take the best baseball simulation and make it better with graphics.
