Dude i can only assume your too young to get the concept of narratives but there is a continuing debate about whether playing a game is the same thing as watching a movie. Your playing a role in the narrative, whether thats Wiifit or MGS, and your involvement changes the narrative as you progress.
Theres something to be said about passive entertainment (tv) and whether, i dk Tetris for eg, is ultimately a better, more convincing and appealing narrative simply because you are a part of it.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
