Many of games with great graphics are doing well sony games wouldn't be doing as well if they had mid graphics. let's just say ghosts of tsushima, spider man, god of war, and horizon would probably fail with ps3 or Fortnite type graphics..   

Oh well, I guess Nintendo fans are smarter then, lol. I am currently playing DQ VIII and Xenosaga, those games you listed are garbage in my opinion. I am probably too old and just showing my age. For me modern gaming is rinse and repeat and made for the casuals with piss easy games.

I wouldn't call them "garbage" but I know how that feels, and I think it's mainly the result of 3 things: Age, internet, and accessibility.

We just had more energy, imagination, and less distractions back then. Lack of internet made games more mysterious and intimate, and limited accessibility made them more difficult and punishing by design. Beating games and uncovering little secrets was so much more satisfying. I had a sense of pride at some of my gaming findings and achievements as a kid. You just don't get that anymore.

IMO FomSoftware games scratch that itch, but even they fail to completely replicate how gaming felt when we were kids.
