Because fanboys are full of hypocricy (did i spell that right?)

In this case it is a shame lemmings are using after their rampage about how great the 360 game graphics are.

two reasons:

1. because the PS3 came out after the 360, its technology is newer, and therefore it has superior-looking games

2. it's true

Doesn't everyone say that? Both is nice, but if it's one more than the other, I'll take gameplay.

You mean your making up scenarios, right?

Perhaps because MS flagship racer and shooter emphasize "gameplay over graphics". You know what I'm talking about.......... Forza 2 and Halo 3.

excellent way to look at it, and its very true.

thats the problem with the cows, all they care about now is the graphics, and all the games suck. the lems are getting the best of both worlds, great gameplay and great graphics.

I think everyone says gameplay is more important than graphics. If i wanted graphics, i'd buy a painting. I want to play the game, how it plays is more important.

gameplay is of course more important, i hate to bring it up but i think lair proved that. i love retro games, and games like loco roco because they have such good gameplay, and they really dontneed amazing graphics. although im not saying graphics arent important, they of course are especially if your making a realistic games.

i think the problem arrises when a console that lacks power compared to its rivals, like the wii, trys to do "realistic" graphics, and ends up with with rather poor looking graphics, ruining the game a bit, but if they hadaimed forcartoony or non realistic graphics in the first place, it would have been, and looked great.

"In fact, if you do a comparison shot between the native 1152x640 image and the scaled 1280x720, it's practically impossible to discern the difference. We would ignore it entirely were it not for the Internet's propensity for drama where none exists. In fact the reason we haven't mentioned this before in weekly updates, is the simple fact that it would have distracted conversation away from more important aspects of the game, and given tinfoil hats some new gristle to chew on as they catalogued their toenail clippings."

Well, Lair runs at the full 1080p resolution natively, that didn't save it from being a terrible game overall.

Hell, if anything, Halo 3 proves that gameplay is in fact more important than graphics because it scored a 9.5 while running at the 640p resolution because it had the awesome gameplay to back it up.

Caue people started bashing Halo 3 for the lower resolution. Funny though because the people who are saying gameplay>graphics, are the same people who were defending the Halo 3 graphics all those months leading up to the launch. Way to flipflop guys.

Obviously you weren't around for the Xbox.

It's true that Microsoft consumers milk the gameplay>graphics kneejerk more than any console-goer out there, but their real problem so far hasn't been their dependency on one-liners so much as it is their tendency to let Gamespot think for them--Not to mention they resort to sales figures as a way of fending off criticism of their prized games.

They're obsessed with noteriety as opposed to the games themselves; they have to rely on reviewer opinion and consumerism to vindicate their positions.

Nah, I hope no one is saying that. But it is interesting since Halo isn't a graphical masterpiece that 360 fangirls are saying its all about gameplay. If thats the case they should like Wii a lot.

Cedmln

WTF? i see ur fanboy posts always and they amuse me...the main arguments u hear from each group are

Lemmings: We have more games and better online

Sheep: teh innovation

Cows: teh potential and the GRAFIIIIIXXXXXXXXXX (and free online)

Hermits...Pretty much all of those

The only games lemmings brag about with graphics are gears and any multiplats that look better on the 360...we all know the 360 is less graphically superior so why would they hype graphics...Lems care more about gameplay then cows...proven by Lair and HS

Its always been that way,the whole 360 vs PS3 vs Wii vs PC/this gen didnt start the whole gameplay > graphics debate.It's been going on since around the PS1 era when all games had to go on is gameplay.

1)Because its true.
2)Because games like Lair and HS have great graphics but not enough gameplay/substance to back it up.
3)Because Raptor Jesus said so.

well thats the biggest load of manure i've seen all day.

Overgeneralizations to the point of fallacy =/= a good arguement.
