The ESA went on to say that the top factors when buying a game were the quality of its graphics and price, not its story or online capabilities.

. This is shocking because—since Project Scorpio was announced—we’ve heard how games matter more than graphics, and how frame rate and resolution aren’t that important. However, the top-selling titles are almost all multiplatform releases with the exception of Pokemon. Gamers want the best visuals and this is great news for Project Scorpio. It directly contradicts what certain gaming outlets have been saying since its reveal. Customers want the best visuals and Project Scorpio is the only way to get them at an affordable price, without the hassle of a PC.

I always thought gamers wanted ... well ... games.
And those exist already

Plenty of indie companies holding it down

AAA companies should focus on graphics since they got the money. It would make money

We want photorealism right now, that's what's new and edgy

While graphics are something most people would like

end of day it not a luxury most people can afford and sales/success points to graphics having very little to do with success of a video game.

-which is why MOBAS (league of legends/dota) is currently the most popular gaming genre (free to play, not really graphic related, can run on most computers old and new because of low graphic requirements)

-Counter Strike is still king of FPS competitive scene. Despite Overwatch, Battlefield and Call of Duty looking better. the low graphic requirements mean more accessible world wide. Also due to the overall simple nature of the graphics and game play spectators rather good or bad at the game, can easily visually follow along.

Overwatch is the highest selling FPS game of all time already (in less than a year) and while the competitive scene is still #2 behind counter strike, its a very distant #2 and doesnt seem to be closing the gap any time soon. One of the main complaints is that with all the graphic shyt going on (explosions, different animations, etc) its harder to spectate.

-The highest selling RPG franchise of all time, Diablo and especially highest selling MMO of all time, World of Warcraft, arent graphic intense either. Again following the philosphy, graphics are nice to have, but having less graphics and more sales due to more people having access to the game is better.

nikka, when are you gonna shut this bullshyt up :dwillhuh: Your dumbass PC nerd logic does not apply to consoles.
Guess how many copies of Diablo sold on consoles? We both know the answer would not support your logic :ld:
We got counterstrike on here as well, its a backwards compat title on the good ol' box. Scorpio will make it 4K native
You think anybody gives a fukk, real talk. PC is a different crowd just like Nintendo. Not the same market bruh
