While gameplay is, or at least should be, the bread-and-butter, good graphics for the technology level of the game and other detail things like quaity of animations are still important. For TS4 pizza to look much worse than TS2 pizza even though the technology bar in 4 is much higher says a lot about the attitude towards players by the game makers. They don't care. For all its imperfections, TS2 is obviously a labor of love with attention to detail, including the little ones. Thus, its huge and vocal fanbase.

As for gaming platforms, There should be a different version for each platform the game is intended to be played on. There is no one size fits all. EA better not even think about trying to tow an 18-wheeler with a Toyota.
