Oh, I can tell you that. It arose when market researchers found out that a very big group of game players cared *more* about graphics than gameplay. So they cut down on gameplay resources to have 'top of the line' graphics.
Can you name a single game where you can conclusively state that the gameplay suffered because the graphics had too much effort spent on them. Not ethat this has to be a game where you that would have had good gameplay in the first place, so you'll need written documentation from the developers in all likelihood.

You have 10 coins, representing both time and resources. You're to spread those among gameplay, audio, graphics and AI.
Well, your analogy is fatally flawed simply because the graphics are orders of magnitude more expensive to create than the gameplay itself.

Personally, I couldn't care less if the series ever got popular. In fact, it'd *much* rather it didn't, because that brings with it a ton of new issues and never anything good.
This is otherwise known as being a fanboy.
