It goes beyond that. For example, remember when the analogue sticks were first introduced? This is when we first switched to 3D gaming, which also meant that more buttons were required. But imagine if the risk had not been taken and we still relied on the same controls from the 2D era with better looking graphics. What about the DVD disc? With the 3D era, worlds became massive in scale and detail. Imagine if games were still on CDs or even cartridges. Worlds would remain so much smaller and basic even. From here do we move into things such as cameras and motion controls. This is where everything else attached to that starts to fall into place since you are now dealing with a level of immersion. It is the new era of realism, and what comes along with "immersion" is personality. So, to put it blunt, static gameplay of the 3D era is beginning to take a backseat to that. This is what i mean by innovation. Nintendo sees this just as much as the PC market. Gaming is changing and the controls are becoming more complex as the whole graphics era closes to a crawl.
This market thrives on constant innovation. There is no room to simply stand still and be a formidable player. This is what Sony means by waiting for the numbers. That proof determines how nimble you are at paving your own path
still dig it tho
