| RolStoppable said: The advancement of technology became less important to me over time, because a mediocre game with pretty graphics would still be a mediocre game. I wanted my games to be great at their core, not full of distractions that covered up for an unpolished/unbalanced game. You might say that good gameplay and good graphics are not mutually exclusive and you would be right for saying this. That's why I switched to Nintendo who have the highest batting average when it comes to making games like that. |
Nintendo games are fantastic at their core, but they have had almost the same core for a very long time now. Sony has more of a high risk / high reward thing going on, simply because they cover a larger range of genres and franchises, and are not afraid to add to them. Nintendo seem very stuck, and I personally would like to see them throw their weight behind a new untested IP.
As for graphics, Sony are just giving the developers more tools to work with. A powerful console, touchpad, move control etc are just more options to give the developer more freedom, to get third parties on side. One of their strengths are the third party games, which is where Nintendo is doing very poorly. I mean if you look at Metacritic, 45 PS3 games have 90+, whereas 14 Wii games have 90+. Can you really base console choice solely on first party games when there is such a disparity? There are a lot of good games you would miss, so I would strongly recommend looking into getting a second console. I wouldn't say switch, but there is a lot to be said for a PS3 and Wii combination.
