Oh, well if you mean in terms of actual technological advancement I agree. Shadows looks amazing and genuinely incredible at how it uses fog and godrays among many other technologies to make the game look amazing and I only ever really felt that way with DeSR this gen. Just running through mountains I'm not supposed to to clear out the fog of war just to get sights like this is incredible.

But the point I'm trying to make here is that in general they specifically are aiming towards the grafics and AAA crowd. The people who want that AAA money explosion of visuals and scope. That's their market and that's the space they've been competing in with Microsoft while Nintendo does its own thing. You might not think it's impressive or advanced but they are still absolutely in that space and their games are absolutely in that space even if it's not pushing boundaries as much as it used to.
