Yes, we are definitely on our way to that demand plateu and by each console gen significantly less gamers are choosing graphics as being the difference maker for a purchase decision. On that I agree. Nintendo definitely made the correct analysis. It depends on how you define a demand plateau. If let's say in last gen 75% of core gamers had their mouths dripping when they got a glimpse of current gen graphics, and that number has fallen to only 40-50% of core gamers being wowed by the UE4 demo, then we sure are trending towards a demand plateau, but I personally think that there's still a lot of gamers who value improved graphics to the level that it justifies these substantial leaps in hardware power that console gens bring. |
I was happy with Mario Sunshine ten years ago, I can't really gauge what the market wants.
If I'm right though it'll be fun to watch the gaming market crash and burn at the start of next gen though, because all the devs and even Nintendo are stil in the MOAR GRAPHICS!!!!1one11!!1eleven mode.
