Third parties pull a fast one and blame Nintendo for their own crappy games

So no one wanted to make games for snes or playstation 2. This graphics reason is crap or all past generations would have been boring. My best gen was N64/PS 1 and they had polygon box characters in some games.

The money/port reason seems valid however, just say it is for the money. I doubt anyone that was developing for Final Fantasy 7 didn't feel like they were doing useless crap just like the people developing Final Fantasy 13 don't. Uber real looking graphics can't be the main drive for developers, story and gameplay needs to be.

 

FF13 does have a GREAT story and game play too, square enix ALWAYS made huge FF titles, even their underperforming games sale 5 million due that.

 

power have to do alot with it too, the difference between PS1 and n64 wasn't so big, even so FF9 could easily be mistaken for a n64 title and even being longer!.

in the six era porting was not big of a trouble mhz and overall power wasn't so different.

making RE4 run on a ps2 wasn't a challengue  it had a few things cuts, but making RE5 running on the wii would require to remade the game using an old engine.

but the difference between wii vs HD consoles it's huge yeah many people will say it's not only graphics but many HD are masterpieces and fun to play too :).
