Let us prove this. All it takes is a little honesty on your part. If all three systems on the market right now cost $300 and you could only get one which one would you get? Which system has the best value? Which one seems more fun? Which one currently holds the best game? Which one overall seems like a killer deal?
Graphics matter. You may not want to pay for it but I am damn sure if things were different nintendo fans would be crowing like roosters if nintendo came out with the most powerful system and if Zelda made gears of war look like it was developed by kids who rode the schoolbus with tinted windows.
If you really didn't believe this was the case why is this subject continuosly picked up and debated? I have only seen this much defence over this subject on nintendo related forums. Seriously most 360 and PS3 related place refuse to compare to the wii and feel that thier sales are relegated to a different set of consumers. Just by these long winded rants about graphics mainly coming from the nintendo fanbase, I am starting to feel that some guys out there need justification for there purchases. Or a rationilization, so to calm fears that they might have made a mistake. |
Well the $300 XBox was outsold by the $300 PS2 inspite of having better graphics ...
The $200 Gamecube was outsold by the $300 PS2 inspite of having better graphics ...
The $200 N64 was outsold by the $200 Playstation inspite of having better graphics ...
All else being equal people will choose better graphics, but lets face it all else has never been equal and probably never will be. People choose to buy the Playstation over the N64 because it had a far larger library of games which lead to it having more good games; people chose the PS2 over the Gamecube and XBox because it had a far larger library of games which lead to it having more good games.
