A lot of the industry has finally learned that investment in the most realistic graphics doesn't offset lack of fun. I credit indie studios the most for that
Graphics have diminishing returns. Doubling the amount of polygons in the 90s meant enabling completely new kinds of games and going from blocky models you can barely distinguish from each other to something that looks like a character. Double the polygons now and the difference would be barely perceivable if at all.
