@PCgameruk: It depends on how much it costs. Paying for exceptional graphics at launch is expensive and is risky. For example, the PS4 has great graphics, but it didn't exceed the PS3 or Wii, which are both graphically inferior. Also, the market for consoles is even greater now, so you'd expect it to win out anyway...

It's only a subset of gamers who play shooters and open-world games etc. that value graphics beyond a reasonable point. Also, these people aren't even targeted by Nintendo because they realize that they're a fickle audience.

What's the difference between "price point" and "price"?

Exactly. Remember FarCry 4? And check the pirated numbers for The Witcher 2, for example.

Dante's Inferno is the King.

Playing a game for the story is like reading a novel for the graphics. It doesn't make sense.

Stunt Race FX

Call of Duty, Destiny, Halo... These games annoy me.

@LegatoSkyheart: I have no opinion on this. EA games emphasize technical features, not gameplay features anyway.

Then that explains the delays.

Conjecture and guesswork. Nintendo pre-date everyone in the entire industry. They would be broke by now if they were ever going to be.
