I don't understand why people say graphics.

Graphics are not overrated. It's the way people use them in the console wars that is overrated.

Because great graphics are always a plus and they certainly do not define this gen.

Great graphics were always important in other gens as well.

What I think is overrated this gen are motion controls of any kind. They really don't change anything to the experience once you get used to them.



DLC. It's a great idea gone wrong, and it was easy to see it was going to go wrong the moment I learned about the idea.

MGS4. The game isn't bad but its story is utterly ridiculous. In a way, it ruined the series (of course the good games in the series are still fun, it couldn't possibly ruin them).

Accessibility, cinematic games. They result in less to play, much less depth in games.

Multiplayer in _every_single_game_. There are games that don't need multiplayer and in fact are likely to suffer from multiplayer.

I think that's about it. I could probably come up with lots of other ideas as well but these should be the most important.

Why stop at Gran Turismo 5? I say all of Sony's first party games. They routinely get put on the same or a higher level as Nintendo's games.



I don;t think Lair was put at the same, or higher quality than Nintendo games. Same goes for all of those niche PS Move launch games.
