I can't believe how much realistic is dominating the poll.

Isomething simpler than full on realistic...

Did you ever see the technical break downs on all the lvls of detail which were going on in the likes of Wind Waker on the Gamecube?

Yes, and it's nothing compared to Twilight Princess. Any other question?

His point is that detail doesn't equal realistic. It's easier to make a realistic art style have more detail than a cartoony game since, well, It's realistic.

And?

they are easier to pull off than realistic graphics from a hardware level.  

This was what I figured you were implying with your first comment and why I asked my question of if you had seen the actual breakdown of what was going on technically in the wind waker on the gamecube. I simply had not replied due to your mildly confrontation enticing tone of reply but what the bold and underlined here, is not correct. When it comes to creating an animation such as a cartoon then making it hand drawn and cartoony is of course 10000x easier to do if you take a pen and paper and simply draw what you want, to create this same effect in a 3d game world that you want to give a softer and more cartoon look to everything from characters, water and even explosions... then it takes a hell of a lot more work.

If you think the likes of Gears is more technical to render because the characters look like people and there is more grey per frame than your average fan fic about area 51, you are mistaken.
