Never said they were. I merely added to the conversation by pointing out that better graphics means more realistic depictions of violence. And you cannot deny the existence of "swords in (and?) guns" in this game. Therefore, to say that better graphics won't lead to better looking weapons and, as a result, better kill shots is just wrong. Because if you give a mouse better graphics, he's going to want blood.

Thank you for making my point although I would argue that the Wii was just more fun in terms of gameplay. However, like the Wii, POTCO is family oriented. And it is the ONLY reason POTCO works. Period. Since you are in charge of deciding what constitutes games and consoles for real gamers, please tell me where POTCO fits in. In my opinion, POTCO is for casual gamers and to try and hang "real gamer" attributes to it is just plain silly.
You are comparing Disney with companies whose only purpose is to make video games. For machines that exist only to play those video games. They all have the same abilities. Your X-Box is just like my X-Box and My PS3 is just like your PS3. It is easier to hit a target that isn't moving. My PC is NOTHING like your PC. How do the developers deal with this? By marketing something for the lowest common denominator.
POTCO is, first and foremost, an advertising gimmick. And Disney is WAY too big to care about it much. I guarantee, the day POTCO loses a single dime, it gets shut down forever.
This is about as "real gamer" (what does that even mean?) of a game as Farmville is. It just happens to appeal to a lot of people. Leave it alone. It works as it is.

We agree on the intent if not the tone here. Disney has been WAY too slow in turning out content. But if Fallout 3 can be improved in 5 hours by some random Joe (who I can only assume was a "real gamer") who wasn't even PAID to do the job, then Fallout 3 must have been really, really bad.
