  1. Photo-realism is often more hardware-intensive than more stylized approaches.
  2. Stylized graphics give your game more brand-recognition.

3.Photo-realism tend to look bad after some years but good stylized grapghics can stand the test of time.

True. I guess most gamers are looking to escape realism.

Not to mention, it doesn’t take as much to make the environment look great, it’s when you try and make the people, their hair and their facial expressions that it all starts to look creepy rather than good.

I bet if there were no faces or facial expressions, you would have better looking games.
