If 3D increases sales enough it could actually lead to more resources to work on the AI. Markus has to continue to try to grow his customer base.

This is the best pro-graphics argument that I have heard. By sacrificing AI now and increasing sales to hook the "eye-candy" crowd then at some point more resources could be put into the AI than would have without the additional sales. Is there as a term for that? Opportunity investment?
Perhaps Markie-Marc is a more shrewd business man than I have given him credit for.
