Why is Nintendo the only company allowed to get away with stagnation in visuals?

Why is Nintendo the only company allowed to get away with stagnation in visuals? And you can't use "same hardware" as an excuse because BOTW was made entirely with the WII U in mind years before being partially developed for the Switch. Games like MGS2 and MGS3 were on the same hardware, and there's a significant noticeable upgrade. TOTK had 5+ years of dedicated development on the Switch, and it looks the exact same in every single way. Even somehow looks worse at times.

          Not following this thread's lame attempt to compare Nintendo's creativity exclusively with other AAA goyslop because of console war homosexualry. Have some actually good games that will flex your brain mooscles.

                So the same redone Souls game for the 5th time, only with the anime bullshit blown out to 11?
                Is it adult because the exact same, "the world is ending, now it's time for you to vaguely do something about it", plot was reused again?

    Once you hit a certain amount of fidelity, increasing it further isn't needed.
    BOTW and TOTK don't bother to chase realism, they have an aesthetic that is deliberately stylized and built around flat coloring and fairly low poly counts. That aesthetic is attractive and fairly timeless, it'll look good 10 years from now, just as people can appreciate The Wind Waker today.
    The 'fidelity limit' has been passed and people don't need more at a base level to find the game pleasing.

    Those other games chased realism at all costs, and aimed to get closer and closer to it. And were expected to keep that up.
    MGS1 isn't an ugly game on its own. Hell, the throwback PS1 style games that are popular these days indicate that there is something attractive about the look. But when it was couched in being one of the more visually impressive and realistic games of its time, the expectation was that would be maintained.
    If MGS2 was extremely stylized, then the franchise could have broken from that expectation, and later releases wouldn't have surprised anyone at not being high fidelity. Instead the franchise chased that on and on.

    BoTW was more successful than almost the rest of the entire series combined. Think about that, and then notice how it answers your question.

      The Switch is the only console that has anything worth playing exclusive to it.
      The PS5 and X-Box are utter scams.

    Dude, the entire industry is getting away with stagnating visuals. There's only been gradual improvement since the end of the PS3 era and practically no meaningful difference between this generation and the last. Graphics have been a matter of diminishing terms for a decade.
