[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":d24c5]I think the graphics and better presentation overall have brought in a lot more people. Take the Madden NFL games for example. I have been playing Madden since '91 or '92, and back then the presentation was limited to John saying "BOOM!" every once in a while. Since the PS2 era of Madden games, the graphics have managed to accurately duplicate the look and feel of football, which makes it far more interesting for fans of the game to see their favorite player recreated in a video game as opposed to the early 90's. That was a time when the player models were nothing more than beefed up stickmen with helmets.[/quote:d24c5]
That may or may not be true. I can remember spending hours playing this.

There were no graphics, just red lights. Maybe it was the novelty of a hand held video game, I don't know. To me, graphics are less important than game play.
