#1 That is not proved. Nevertheless, I'm talking about music as an established form of art, which began to be instrumental-only.


#2 If we're talking about 1 music track, of course it doesn't. But if we're talking about several and large soundtracks, it becomes harder to believe that the games that comprise vocal music are not more complex than the ones that don't have it at all.

 

#3 That doesn't seem weird, it's quite logical. If you are able to count the number of instruments used to create the soundtrack in Mario 64 and the same number regarding Sonic Adventure 1, then feel free to post them here. I can't and therefore vocal music is one of the few indicators I have at disposal.


#4 "it only suggests", I haven't jumped to any conclusions.

@#1:  That is an arbitrary definition for the beginning of music since there are many cultures that used singing as their primary source of music.  Singing, by nature, is easier to pull off than using musical instruments.  With singing, you have everything you need right there with no preparation.  With instruments, you need to have it built and have some kind of understanding of music prior to make it worth anything by itself.  

@#2: What makes you think that?  What makes adding vocals to music more complex than adding any arbitrary instrument to the mix?  I'll give you the answer:  It doesn't.  You aren't even defining what "complex" even is.  The reason why vocals weren't possible before but instruments were has a lot to do with the fact that voices aren't static.  They are dynamic.  Which also means that dynamic instruments also weren't possible with the older technology.  

@#3:  Just because you are incapable of understanding other forms of music, doesn't mean vocal music (one of the only things you seem to have at your 'disposal') is automatically the answer.  If you had done a research paper like this, you would fail.

@#4:  Saying it suggests is also jumping to a conclusion.  There's nothing about your argument that even remotely suggests anything of the sort.
