I think that value-adds like the wiimote and the ds touch screen are the backbone of the evolution of gaming, like the d-pad and the analog stick were before them. Graphics are a gimmick and are the only way Sony and Microsoft were able to beat Nintendo last gen. They also need 3rd parties to survive. |
Nintendo needed third parties to beat Sega. So what?
Graphics are a natural element to videogames. It seems to frustrate you that high end graphics dont matter to Nintendo because they like to keep their costs low and profits high. You're discounting them but for all the wrong reasons. Without graphics you have no primary visual and this goes all the way back to pong. Pixels, the visual element...is graphics. You're knocking the competition just because Nintendo doesn't excell with it.
Sony is an entertainment brand that owns movie houses of course they are going to try to dazzle an audience with the best spectacle they can, but sometimes its needed for a great story and Last of Us proved it. Hell...they proved it with barely any story in SOTC. The gameplay was the story...and what a beautiful one it was indeed. Sony takes chances. Thats just how it is.
