lol.

"The thing with this industry is, no one actually needs what it produces. If what we were making was absolutely essential in order to live, then the consumer wouldn't complain about price or supply, because he'd be in big trouble if he ran out. On the other hand, we produce entertainment -- and there's a million other kinds of entertainment out there. If the game industry went away, it's not like people would keel over and die on the street. If it came to pass that people started saying "These games are all stupid, I gotta stop playing them all the time", then what do you think would happen? You don't need games to live, after all, so the market could fall right out. It could even shrink to a tenth of what it was."
"Y: Certainly. The average gamer's perspective has gradually shifted over the years. They're getting sick of games that are nothing but graphics and force; they want something to play that's actually fun. So why are companies still aiming for nothing but graphics and force? The most impressive phenomenon that occured last year, in my opinon, was when Enix released Dragon Quest [VII] on the original PlayStation, and not the PlayStation 2. It was the newest game in the series, but it ended up selling far more than I predicted -- something like three million or so copies. However, when you look only at its graphics and sound, it looks very rudimentary compared with other PS games. If you compare it to other titles, you'll find that there are hundreds of PlayStation games that have far more impressive graphics. Despite that, out of everything released last year only DQ was able to rack up such high sales figures. Meanwhile games with incredible, utterly beautiful graphics were completely dead in the marketplace. This just backs up what I've always been saying -- games have nothing to do at all with graphics."
It's crazy how true it is. COD/FIFA still look like shit but sell the best
