Naughty Dog Co-founder, Console prices 'Out of Hand' except Nintendo

He's alive and cute as ever... but that's beside the point *grin*

I took the time to read his entire interview, as I'm curious what he's been up to these days. I knew he was working on a comic, reading from his 'my space' page, but it's always nice to hear some more. I've got the feeling several people around here didn't read the entire interview or are blindfolded to even understand Jason's opinion.

Graphics "do" matter, of course they do, butt ugly graphics which gives you a migraine with the first glimpse at the game, is not a good thing of course. Cruis 'n everyone??? What Jason means is that gamers, prefer entertainment above technology.

Look at the Gamefaqs poll of yesterday:

As you can see, most people only use their consoles for "gaming only". Most technological advanced options probably aren't as much as interesting as the real meaning of game consoles... the "gaming" aspect. A while ago there was even a poll on the Internet about if people knew that their 360 / PS3 console supported HD. Surprisely enough, most of them "didn't" know about that.

Jason doesn't imply about "what" kind of games are important these days, but that people simply wishes to have a game console, with an interesting price tag, easy approachable, plus with games focussing mostly on gameplay, concept, joy than on graphics, no matter if that is a MGS or a Mario. He doesn't say graphics aren't important, but it shouldn't be the main focus to interest "most" gamers and broaden the entire gaming community.
