What? I just proved how Nintendo games do NOT look all cartoonish. Some look claymated, some like wool/yarn, some like toy story CGI, and others cartoon. The ps4 games, by and large, are just realistic graphic with realistic tones. Zero Dawn being an exception.

And I've course there are other minor games, I was just focusing on some of the bigger ones for either system. There are plenty of other art styles on Nintendo I didn't show to prove my point (Astral Chains, for example, looks drastically different than these, as does Xenoblade Chronicles 2).

I have to agree with you on the art style here. Its one reason why I favour Xbox over PS in this regard, PS does realistic games really well and they all tend to carry the same focus on realistic art style with an over the shoulder 3rd person combat system. There are small exceptions here however many said PS has more variety of games yet when you look at there main sellers, its clear a one type genre focus. 

Where as Xbox still try to be diverse, they offer difference experiences like RTS, FPS, SIMs, MMO, Metroidvania and others etc. There games might not review as good this gen however there are quite a difference in playstyle and artstyle. 

Sony's next big hitters, what a surprise, two over the shoulder realistic type games in Ghosts and TLOU2. This is not a dig in any means to these games quality however its more of the same which works for them. Look at Xboxes next big releases with Ori 2, Battletoads and Halo. Very different games with very different art style approaches.

Maybe its just me but I can tend to agree Sony's main focus is very different to Nintendos and Xboxes.

Agreed! I'm not saying those Sony games are bad or sold bad, but just that they don't really embrace non realistic looking visuals often.
