The drive for graphical performance is detrimental to the industry

Yes. The striving for graphical fidelity has basically crippled the industry. Compared to 2003, the industry is small and dying, there are no games, and the few games that are released are horrible.

Dude, listen to yourself.

I didn't say that.

I just think that it could have been better, we could have seen more improvement, people could be enjoying modern games more than they currently do.

There is no question that many things have improved - as is to be expected, by any means, with massive teams and further experience aquired.

Your arrogant stance that people, while spending a lot money on their games, do not have fun will not get you very far.

The industry, nor the fans do not care what you think about the CODs or Watch Dogs of this world. These games do sell and the vast majority that buys them has exactly the same fun that they expected and needed from the experience. To insinuate that your "fun" you have with graphically less impressive games is somehow worth more than their fun is unsulting.

It doesn't make your argument more valid when you use conjunctions. The industry is exactly where it was meant to be.
