Then objectively speaking graphics are not a gimmick...you've been watching the evolution and not regressing nature of graphics.Nintendo may have popularlized videogames but Sony took it a step further, thats all. Microsoft made PC gaming popular on consoles. You just like Nintendos style of doing things.

@bold. Yes I do and I'm glad you realize there is nothing wrong with that. Just as input has evolved, graphics have evolved. It really is in the eyes of the beholder as to which is more foundational. You call one a gimmick, I call the other a gimmick. GOOD FOR US. It doesn't help make our ideas any more clearly though and does present our bias.

If I call graphics a gimmick because I don't consider them a crucial as gameplay, is that reasonable? I might consider it lesser, but graphics a gimmick, really?

Makes no sense. As much as it makes no sense when talking about the controller(s).
