the most successful games in western countries are also not famous for their graphics or great resolution. fifa, cod, just dance and so on.

But FIFA and COD improve the graphics every generation to please some gamers

and games like mario on wii look also better as they did the generation before wii. just because wii doesn't have ps3 graphics doesn't mean that games didn't improve graphically. and i think if a game releases with good and bad graphics, japanese would also prefer the better looking version as long as the gameplay is the same.

a cod player will prefer cod on ps4 compared to ps3 but he still buys cod and not battlefield because the cod gameplay is the important factor for the cod fan. and battlefield player play battlefield because of the gameplay and not because it looks better as cod. well, at least most of them.

No no no.

Dragon Quest remained the same for 7 games before Enix said " we should catch up with technology" Japan didnt care

Pokemon remained the same up till X Y - Japan didnt care

Monster Hunter has remained the same... and still is - Japan dont care.

There is also Dynasty Warriors, Ace Attourney, Mega Man ext

Heres what is different. Western gamers expect a graphic leap EVERY game. Japan tends to create 1 engine per generation for a series and will use that the whooole gen with no major changes between games. So yes gen over gen a graphic leap a graphic leap is expected in Japan NOT game over like over here.
