Nobody is saying that. people are saying thats it's much easier to get impressive results with cartoony graphics because they are not demanding as realistic, as well as hardly any developer is  pushing the envelope with cartoony graphics, ratchet and clank remake is a small budget title, and look at how good it looks.

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.
