The problem is that Nintendo simply cannot get out of the 80's mindset that videogames are meant to be "fun". I'm sick and tired of developers focusing on creating "fun" experiences on the Wii and in return sacrificing their artistic integrity amidst this peer pressure to be "FUN". Fun is FINE, but it shouldn't be the sole direction and focus the industry basks in.

 

 You sir, disgust me.  What's a game if it's not fun? An interactive movie or book? A competitive sport? Honestly, fun should be the sole direction and focus of the industry, though quality is welcome as well.

 

A game can also be an intriguing work of art that captures the players mind and puts him/her in a different world  he/she can be made to care about. I remember being sad that Aeris died in FFVII. This won't be considered "fun". So using your "fun" logic, FFVII isn't a game?
