Really? Graphics don't help sell games at all? Why do people want more powerful hardware if the graphics don't matter?
I personally think all of this nitpicking about graphics is stupid, but even I think graphics matter to some extent.

Well to that I have to say

Graphics matter=/=selling point.
If graphics could sell games then The Order 1886 would've been huge.

Your next point is just bullshit. Downgrade is downgrade and matters for any game from any publisher. Nintendo can't get away with it and neither can Sony, whether you perceive one as having a focus on graphics and the other not.
Every company advertises graphics when they show footage of a game. Its always there, visible and obvious. Games are a graphical medium so the first thing people see from any game be it from Nintendo or Sony is graphics.
The argument felt pointless to me. The final game looked stunning and to me better than the pre rendered in engine footage they showed.
I feel I may be the only one, but the game upon release was the most realistic looking game I had ever seen to date, even more than Uncharted 2.
Watch Dogs downgrade was what started this downgrade hunt you see here, as that was drastic. Even on PC at Ultra 1080p 60fps the game looks nowhere near the first trailer. The downgrade was palpable in that it made the world less immersive hence hurting its gameplay. I think people looking for downgrades miss the point of why Watch Dogs was hammered for its visual downgrade, and other games like Witcher 3 did not.
Funny they are obsessed when they don't even understand it. Digital Foundry said it was an upgrade. They changed Spidey's suit to cloth based from plastic, which is an upgrade in my books.
People are really just obsessed with negativity. Its why negative Youtubers who complain on everything get the views. The negativity is more in case of Sony games because a huge section of PC gamers want to play it on their so called superior platform and start hating because they know they can't. Its basically their way of justifying why they wouldn't buy a PS4 even as Spiderman, because they don't want to be a "console peasant". Its a sad and immature mentality.

The "people are so obsessed with graphics" is more like an attack on different taste because the person prefer a weaker platform and not realistic graphic. Everyone that doesn't think the same is wrong so we need to use inflammatory language.

Its fine to like good graphics, but to obsess over small details like puddles is too much. Its unhealthy. Also they were wrong, so its baseless as well.
I understand your point to some extent. I don't like games that look 16 bit era games like most indies. Its also that graphics can make a world more immersive. I feel they are a means to an end, something to accentuate the feel of the game. They aren't all that matters and they certainly don't sell games, but they matter.
