It's not consumers who demand this. Generating pretty pictures just so happens to be the most effective way to sell mediocre gameplay and at the same time push financially more constrained competitors out of the market. The latter in particular is the reason why companies like EA and Ubisoft embrace the arms race.

I feel that I was very polite in this response.

 

Your response was very polite and also very accurate. The big fish are eating all the small ones.
