Graphics = "Great games" -- Does Age play a factor to this thinking?

Like other people it seems, I think graphics do count, if they are like the first of that calibre. For instance Gran Turismo 3 sold really well, because graphics like that had never appeared in a racing game like that, and although GT4 sold very well, it didn't reach the popularity of GT3. My theory was because people had already got GT3, and as GT4 didn't have vastly improved graphics, people decided not to buy it. I think that's also why games like Gears, the new Zelda, and R:FOM have sold well, because they are the first games with great graphics for the time, and with Zelda, the series.

What are you talking about?

Zelda TP was a pretty game but nothing particularly impressive when you consider other Gamecube games, and people have claimed that Wind Waker was a prettier game. The argument that "Graphics = Great Games" implies that Zelda TP couldn't have been the best game of last year because most XBox 360 games were far more technically advanced.

 I thought the new Zelda game was supposed to be the best looking?
