Gameplay or graphics? A Call of Duty 3 comparison

This is the reason why there are different consoles out. Not only do people have different tastes in gaming, but they choose their consoles as a result of these preferences.

Take this graphics comparison of Activision‘s Call of Duty 3 at the Destructoid blog for example. A casual eye, and perhaps many casual gamers or newcomers to gaming, would see little difference between one game and another. Graphics enthusiasts, on one hand will definitely see the difference, and will more than likely become fans of high-powered consoles because the gameplay and graphics add up to a great experience. On the other hand, gamers who don’t mind a little less graphical awesomenss can get the same gameplay plus the innovation of the Wii’s controller.

Imagine you had money to shell out for one or the other. The question becomes simple: gameplay or graphics? Which one matters more to you and your wallet in the long run, and where do you get your enjoyment from?

Whether you want the graphically-intense goodness of Xbox 360 (and PS3), or the gameplay antics (and innovations) of the Wii, what you get is something you’ve bought for the sake of enjoyment, and that’s what matters. Happy gaming, and think about your future purchasing choices, so you never end up regretting the past.
