Ive got to be honest. The only people I really see saying photo realistic graphics are bad are mostly Nintendo fans.

Eventually we will have photo realism I assure you. That doesn't mean every game will try and do it though

did you check out the entire OP? Would you like to have a game where the characters look like those robots? and read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

It explains why games can't get too photo realism. I'm all for great looking games, but this got me thinking that photo realistic hraphics might back fire...

That's actually CGI and not one of these robots in your OP.

NBA 2K:

These are not that far off and they look good.
