Those games are artistic. If when comparing graphics we factor in the flavor, then it's nothing but an opinion. Also the low resolution really hurts those games. Playing them in doplhin at 1080p makes them so much better. Beauty is shackled by hardware capability.

On the flip side, to ignore the flavor is to ignore the artistic value of video game graphics. There's a better argument in your favor beyond trying to seperate art and technology in a medium where both are extremely important: while there are some beautiful Wii games, the console can't realize most artistic visions as well as its competitors.

Think of it this way.

VS

The art on the right obviously took more raw talent to create vs the art on the left. Creating the work on the right would have taken years while the one on the left could be constructed in a day. There is nothing wrong with preferring the art on the left, I personally like what it's getting at, but everyone can agree that art on the right is a much more impressive accomplishment of getting the idea from head to work.

Artistic video games are great, beautiful, incredible, etc., but the vast majority of the time it's just less impressive that they're running on the console.

Where's the "art" in imitating RL things as close as possible?
