"BUT... if you seen the technologies of videogame cnsoles then and today we all know why videogames at that time kept simple and sometimes repititive and addictive at the same time."
Gameplay is NOT something that turns obsolete because of the technology. Some gameplay requires newer tech to work, but when gameplay works, it works forever. This is why so many board games have stayed basically the same over centuries. The rules adapt, but the gameplay is still the same at its core.
It's this fallacy that has left the gaming press and so many developers wondering why the Wii is a success. Gameplay only stops working when it doesn't work in the first place. Arcade gameplay still works.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
