More important? No, but certainly far more accessible, and the low-hanging fruit gets picked the most, so to speak.

You make a great point, and I think that ties into how one defines 'important information'. Specs/prices/etc.etc. about the XBOX 360 are all but ubiquitous on the internet; does this mean that, because they're more common, they're more important and thus should be added to Wikipedia? Or do stricter filters need to be placed on more common knowledge/data?
