I just want to know, do you actually read what other people post or do you just guess at what it says and respond hastily? I didn't say that people don't buy games because they have pretty graphics and cinematics. I said Nintendo doesn't make games solely for that purpose. Of course they are going to make pretty games. But, Nintendo's games do not revolve around the graphics, like Microsoft's products do. Nintendo puts ten times more effort into creating an entertaining and well-designed game than they do with the visual aspect.
And just because Nintendo is making a first person game does not mean it will be an instant success. Look at the last three or four James Bond games. Every one of them flopped. They were all FPS games. So, why didn't they succeed?
Creating an FPS is no longer a guaranteed path to success these days. Halo did exceedingly well because it was a very good game. But, there are so many bad ones out there, that it makes it hard for people to trust that a new one will be any good.
