Again though, this is a reductive oversimplification, primarily used to downplay Nintendo games and hardware. A cartoon game built to take good advantage of 3GB of RAM and Tegra X1 will be more demanding than a realistic game running on less than 500MB of RAM and a GPU from 2005/2006. |
you are taking things out of context, of course a cartoony games can be more demanding then a realistic game, just based on the resolution alone, or many other factors, like how many enemies on screen, environment detail, and lighting engine , but making realistic assets are just more demanding then cartoony assets.
