Console games far outsell PC games.
That may be so, but with regards to your original post:-
Is it better to produce/develop a game in a language which you enjoy/find easier programming in or in a language which would potentially produce better visuals ?
Are you coders sacrificing visual quality because you find it easier or more enjoyable progamming in Blitz rather than in another language which for example providers shader support (e.g. DB Pro).
As for people who say that visual aren't everything, then I would say that they are very important. Just as important as the playability of a game now days.
I thought we were talking about PC gaming/graphics and gameplay! :)

[edit]And I know I mentioned Retro games from other consoles, but these titles are just as popular through emulators on a PC! <--- Quick get out ;D
