Anyone who thinks graphics define a generation of gaming is fooling themselves. Suddenly the research into virtual reality means nothing because "the graphics should be better." From vastly improved AI to significantly better procedurally generated areas, games begin having more depth and realism without the need for 4k 120 fps. Social integration is significantly improved and digital gaming is increasing significantly. The whole industry is growing regardless of whether you can "see" these changes.

Heres Nintendo's problem. They are a generation behind on literally everything. Graphics, computing power, online multiplayer, social integration, reward/accomplishment system, etc. Nintendo is gambling on "big" and "unique" ideas without solidifying their core areas. Because of this, they are losing relevance within the industry. Everyone here seems to think they can recover it if they can make a "big" hit like the wii, but they can't. It's almost been a decade since the wii. Social media has expanded and the gaming industry has learned how to make reliable profits. Not having third party alone is what makes it impossible for Nintendo to make this "magical" comeback
