Graphics have ALWAYS mattered, and ALWAYS will continue to matter. The only reason people say "graphix dont matter" is because they are defending, justifying, or making an excuse for an inferiority in their product. If said inferiority did not exist, and their product was up to industry standards, you would not see said person posting this ALL THE TIME, because they would not feel a need to constantly reassure themselves of this.
And I love when people respond "because graphics are EVERYTHING right? :roll: " (note: they always remember to use that emoticon). Yea, way to take the complete opposite extreme to discredit the initial arguement :roll: (couldnt be bothered looking up which logical fallacy this was). Nobody says graphics are "everything", but they sure as hell matter. Tell me, what is the point in the Wii-U even existing? What is the point in new consoles in general? If you love your inferior graphics so much, you would have no problem if nintendo just stayed with the Wii would you? (this is not a nintendo bash thread, just one example). Let me ask you something else....why does the 3DS have better graphics than the DS? What was the point of nintendo doing that if graphics dont matter? Why not just keep the same hardware as the original DS and just add 3D? Why does the Wii U have better graphics than the 360 and PS3 (and wii for that matter)? If you are OK with graphics, you should have no problem if Nintendo just kept the same specs as the Wii but with all the benefits of the Wii U and the new logo on the front. Why did nintendo feel the need to increase the specs of their console? Oh, thats right! because graphics MATTER ;).
Im not going to point any fingers (*ahem...sheep*) but you NEVER hear PC fans screaming "graphics dont matter" 100 times in every thread where graphics are mentioned. Just saying. Just like you never hear PS3 fanboys talking bad about graphics. It is ALWAYS members of the Nintendo camp,( and to a much lesser extent the 360 camp) which by SHEER coincidence just happen to not have the advantage of using graphics as a talking point ;). Just saying. (and yes im aware that the PS3 and 360 are visually on par and have the exact same memory, im not even trying to open that bag of worms).
In conclusion, If YOU truely dont care about graphics as much as you act like you dont, then that is one thing. What you have to realize is that YOU do not represent everybody. In fact, you are in the minority. Visuals are just as much a part of the experience as anything else, and play an important role in immersion. We get it, you are willing to "settle" for inferior graphics due to other tradeoffs. We do not need to hear you post this 100 times in every single thread justifying your console of choice's inferiorities (IE. the Skyward Sword damage control thread on the front page. it is noone elses problem that the company you support refuses to conform to industry standards)
