You clearly have not played many of the vast amounts of indie games on the new consoles. That said, people have liked stories since they were told around camp fires in ancient times. They make them because people like stories, period. You also did a poor job of explaining how most games on PS4 and X1 are like movies. You need better examples. I do not agree.
