There are 4-5 year old PS3 games that are more impressive than MK8. Realism will almost always beat cartoon

Are them games running in 1080P@60fps? hell the is nothing on 360 or ps3 that comes close to what MK8 is doing -_- .

Yes, because it takes a NASA supercomputer to run a graphical beast that is Mario Kart, with its cartooney textures, bad AA and incredibly simple geometry at 1080p/60fps.

GT5 and 6 are technically way more demaning games than Mario Kart (and yes they are both at 1080p/60fps while pushing realism), which is to be expected since one is a cartooney game and one is a racing sim, but there are actually people out there that think MK8 is technically more impressive...

There is a difference between 1280x1080 and 1920x1080 while both is 1080p... Not sure if MK8 is 1920x1080 but your points are off (cartoony textures is nothing bad or less technical demanding).
